When I Have the Body of a Man by Elizabeth Bachinsky

When I have the body of a man, I have the head of a bull.


When I have the head of a bull, Athena springs from my forehead.


When Athena springs from my forehead, I tell Athena, Cut it out!


When I tell Athena, Cut it out! she makes a string of paper dolls from my money.


When she makes a string of paper dolls from my money, I say Thank you, fold them up, and put them in a drawer.


When I say Thank you, fold them up, and put them in a drawer, the dolls figure out a way to
get out and use eBay when I'm not at home.


When the dolls figure out a way to get out and use eBay when I'm not at home, I know I've not had enough to drink.


When I know I've not had enough to drink, I admire my fortitude.


When I admire my fortitude, Athena says, Cut it out!


When Athena says, Cut it out! one should always listen.


When one should always listen, I think, Don't tell me what to do with my time!


When I think Don't tell me what to do with my time! 
I have the body of a man.

What Use Is Poetry?

by 

Meena Alexander

In an address to the Yale Political Union on April 23, 2013, Meena Alexander began with a line from Shelley’s 1821 essay, “A Defence of Poetry.” The resolution—“Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world”—led to a lively debate. What follows is a slightly revised version of the text she wrote for that occasion.
