Blair Wilson and Hal Sirowitz     "Chopped Off Arm"     #387     Sumi Ink on Paper     11"x17"     1993
Larger 387


Chopped off arm

Don't stick your arm out of the window,
Another car can sneak up 
behind us and chop it off.
Then your father will have to stop,
Stick the severed piece in the trunk
and drive you to the hospital.
It's not like the parts of your telescope
that snaps back on.
A doctor will have to sew it.
You won't be able to wear shortsleeves.
You don't want anyone to see the stitches.

Poem by Hal Sirowitz
