Every intern has a special relationship with her cadaver
Tonight I see its shadow from the lens of highway
A great neuron transmitting signals from some sinister
Mid-West mind.
The underpass is a catacomb & bar lights must be dimmed
By now. But Alex knows a Chinatown storefront
Where a blind waiter serves fermented potatoes
from tiny teapots until the whitewash of morning
When these corpses rise up like angry customers
Demanding refunds and wielding scalpels.
