School of Practical Dissection¹

Kenny Williams

In the hands of the priest

the heart has to break

like crockery, for a single man,

not the human race

which we love into oblivion

and despise in general.

In the hands of the anatomist

it leaps, the heart, like a trout² --

small, brown, and poached --

at the end of the line.

Faster students than our teachers,

we feel like boys playing hooky,

just wetting our toes

in the landlord's river,

passing his jug³ from

mouth to mouth.
