I can't remember a poem ever pissing me off, but this one did, and then it led me down a path of information that pissed me off even more...
Chimera Karen Glenn This morning early, I followed the rural roads deep into Nevada, rolling and curving through the tiny towns until I found the place I'd read about where some sheep have human livers, others human blood, and just one, a human heart. It was in your newspaper, too, I bet, not some H.G. Wells nightmare, filled with beasts that groan and speak, but a lab farm, scoured and neat, shining with aluminum and chemicals, a place where a liver grown inside a sheep is not a horror, but a hope for folks who need one. At first it was a disappointment. In the lab and in the field, the sheep crowded together, baaing—looking, acting just like sheep— nothing distinguishing about them. But then the one with the human heart followed the scientist who'd made him with his eyes, watched the tracks her small feet made across the lab's damp floor. He stood stock still in the stall when she touched him with her cold instruments, then nuzzled her soft hands. Even I could feel it. It's something we all know— how the heart keeps wanting, wanting the unnameable, the impossible, yearning in the dark, like a sheep at night in a cold barn. |

What pissed me off (so far) today?
Absolutely nothing.
