Working Notes, Diane Ward:
This piece is one in a series entitled "Crossing." It is about bodies and what crosses between them, figures of speech (incongruity, jokes) using the body and its parts. It began and appeared originally as a short-lined poem in 3-line sections. Each 3-line "verse" has become a title for a section and has now opened to prose.
