siamese

too bad nobody likes poetry
said my old teacher
he sent me Maged Zaher's poems
and after reading one 
I thought about you,
reincarnated as a buttery cake
I asked but you weren't sure about reincarnation
it's tied into the caste system !
damn, I hadn't even thought of that
I thought of the second line
of what the cats said in Lady and the Tramp,
"We are Siamese if you don't please"
I repeated this line in my head
shit made no sense to me
I tucked myself into your hip tat
into Madonna's Material Girl
when you do your stretches
all of a sudden
I'm the best personal trainer
I'm your personal trainer
I'm Siamese if you please
I'm Siamese if you don't please
whatever the fuck it means
