The Spitting Image

" The Spitting Image "

by Suzan Jivan

With a few peekaboos
and much-to-do
about VP's updos
along with spitting
into test tubes
at genetically-
engineered
saliva-collection
uptown events
storm victims
are visciously swept
into fetid spits
of the hardest hit
spotted by whirling birds
on raked rooftops
and naked bedrock.
