Matt Logan

From Harper’s


With asymmetrical breasts
One can expect
Chlamydia epidemics in Australia
Among koalas and young women
Whose dandruff genomes are sequenced
When pre-teens have consensual sex
And subsequently decrease delinquency in later life
Making the universe twenty percent less massive

And the internet could bring you
Closer to God though six percent disagree

And because short men are more likely to be pedophiles
Composed of lightweight electrons
A Russian cockroach named
Nadezhda gives birth
To the smell of breastfeeding
New Zealand scientists
From less prestigious law schools
Whose names begin with “K”
