Perhaps there were other parts missing
too. One hundred and fifty doesn't sound
like enough. And it's an even number,
nothing really comes out to even numbers,
especially when you add on all the taxes.
They must have left something out. Not just
the sex organs, but something important.
Perhaps there are glands that they haven't
discovered, muscles and veins they haven't
itemized and charted, vital organs with no
names. Perhaps some mistake was made by the
company that produced the transparencies,
Transvision Milprint Inc. of Milwaukee, Wis-
consin; perhaps they left out an entire page
to cut costs. Or a clerical error. A box of
undelivered transparencies labelled "Plate L"
might still be sitting in some back store
room in Milwaukee. Or maybe there are some
things you just can't show on a transparency.
Even a colour one.
