my mouth is made out of humming
that's made of spring water
that's made of nickel
my skin is made of helium
composed of veal
that's made of glue
my hands are bowls of snow
made out of blisters
made from monsoons
already my mind has smiled
out of its golden hospital
halfway through the operation, the surgeon
rests a spell, well deserved,
made of oxygen

Lovely! Surreal and completely sensible at the same time. And thanks to Bob, I've learned something new, too.
