Body and Soul C.I.S.

By the time an American
body asserts itself, sprouts
hair where bare was

And blood @ inopportune
times – blood and hair,
bound for evidence lockers, often

The American mind already
handled – ungloved – by one
loco parentis after another

Actual parents resume to make
bank, after all, baby stuff
so dear these days, dear

Grace Slick – tuneful and succinct.
