Bathroom Monologue: What were they building?



Two jars of rarified air
Two jars of common air
One jar of the wind untamed

The unused speech for Richard Nixon if the moon landing failed
The left knee of an acclaimed diplomat
My seven favorite episodes of Gigantor from when I was six years and two months old

Three locks of an Amazon leader’s hair
Four handfuls of earth from the Underground Railroad
One pinhead of angels

My father’s unconditional love
My mother’s borscht recipe
One willing test subject/heir
