Yes We Can

Six Of One

Sitting on the can

Straining at stool,

            recalling

The voice of a minister

            of religion

 While at school

(university, that is)

                 asking me

                 quietly

"Is it you.  Is it really you."

               Recalling also

               the answer

A woman involved

Deeply in birthing gave to her

           solicitous doctor

As to how she was doing:

              "Did you ever

Try to shit a watermelon?"

Translation:

                    Don't ask

Stupid questions.

And for the other one as well.

How should I know?

I'm new here

            new

To the task at hand.

                      Stand

And deliver.

          That's all

One can do.
