The Half-People

A man can wander out by himself,
far away from the others and, if he has
enough room, grow into a giant.
Dwarfs live in crowded places
making tools so small human hands fumble
when they try to use them.
Then there are the half-people,
those with whole heads and whole genitals,
but with only one leg and one arm.
They hop around, longing for the twins
of themselves. They hop around like stripes
peeled from the hides of majestic animals.

(Denise Duhamel)
