[Is there DNA in earwax, snot, tears and/or shit?]

Is there DNA in earwax, snot, tears and/or shit?
Squeegy eyes, weegee ears, de-mucus nose, Fleet:
subsequent evidence on:
keyboards
light switches
doorknobs
the back of your lover's neck her thumb in your asshole and all she touched next
office-chair armrests
water-fountain thumb-plungers
grocery carts
ATMs
elevator buttons in buildings sad with the already ill
shards in basement of a just discovered crime scene
not
the inside-side cuff of the long-sleeved shirt where all us compliant deposit?
And when do I think my extracts will have evidentiary value anyway?

Work Today, part one




Dear Jeff, after I asked you to recklessly break copyright last semester as a once-in-a-lifetime I-owe-you-forever favor, and I don't forget that your sole condition was that last semester would represent the only time I would ask you to do so, and I respect that, I really respect that, and I feel bad about this, but I need to know I can count on you again, I can't get sabbatical next semester to finish my book unless I teach this class this semester and if I don't finish my book I don't get tenure and I can't teach this class this semester unless you violate every common sense fence of what constitutes copyright. I'll never ask again, I promise - and I know I promised you last semester I'd never ask you again - but I need you to stream this pirated copy of the biggest Hollywood blockbuster currently in movie theaters. Best regards. P.S. I know you've waived hundreds of dollars in recall fines for me before and I know I agreed to be responsible for all fines hence, but there's a $250 recall on my record, I know it was recalled but my needs have priority over whoever it was who recalled it. There's a block on my record because of the fine, could you waive it please? Thanks. I still owe you that lunch.

[I am never asked to justify my decision to not eat poultry]

I am never asked to justify my decision to not eat poultry
Am asked why I need to justify that decision, asked please don't
Eat chicken or don't, why I do either or both or neither keep to myself
People - a loved one once scolded me yesterday - don't care my reason is unethically aesthetic and
     illogically adroit
Go ahead, please, eat what you want, eat pig
I do not claim superiority much I will not eat a pig
Eat poultry too, chicken turkey vulture goose crow

Twice I walked out into the world today
At no time did willows bow or clouds coagulate formations only possibly held in that 4:30 to 4:31 PM light
The cherry tree's bark does not taste of honey
The back of your neck does taste of salt, thanks
What I mean to say doesn't mean what I say is what I meant to and I never could
No one asks me to justify my poetry no matter how much I beg
This is why I rarely talk about what I will and won't eat
Once chicken turkey vulture goose
Crow still
