Changing Diapers Gary Snyder

How intelligent he looks!
on his back
both feet caught in my one hand
his glance set sideways,
on a giant poster of Geronimo
with a Sharp´s repeating rifle by his knee.

I open, wipe, he doesn´t even notice
nor do I.
Baby legs and knees
toes like little peas
little wrinkles, good-to-eat,
eyes brigth, shiny ears,
chest swelling drawing air,

No trouble, friend
you and me and Geronimo
are men.
