To Map a Man<\/span>
 <\/span>

The transparent mapping of a man<\/span>
requires a thin slice of him on coated <\/span>
film along with a translucent strip<\/span>
 <\/span>
of his energy activity with all of its <\/span>
sides,  all aspects of the man included.<\/span>
 <\/span>
Put his thin coat, almost transparent,<\/span>
across the cell membranes that map all <\/span>
of his sides, his aspects, his separate origins.<\/span>
 <\/span>
Place a thin coat over his alive energy,<\/span>
surround his activity on all sides.  On all <\/span>
of his aspects put a pliable wall of parchment.<\/span>
 <\/span>
His energy and sensitive cellulose will thins<\/span>
as his organ lightens, his touch separating <\/span>
the  transparent mapping of the man from the man.<\/span>



* Ann Privateer<\/span> says “I grew up in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, where every spring I experimented walking on icy pond water, then relocated to LA, California for college, married, and moved north to raise a family. Now I am retired,  single, and spend part of the year in Paris, France, conversing with my French grand-daughter in English. My poems have appeared in <\/span>Manzanita, Poetry Now, Tapestries, Tiger Eyes, Rattlesnake Review<\/span> and <\/span>Medusa\u2019s Kitchen<\/span> to name a few.”<\/span>
