SO LISTEN NOW

So listen now to what the prophet saith,
He teaches anything, he gladly learns,
He follows scientists and what they say,
And now, Philosophy of DNA
Regard the spiral of it as it turns,
And listen now to what the prophet saith:
The two as one, entwining intercourse,
Then separate from toes to very head,
And, separated, seek another bed,
Their separation procreation’s cause.
So listen now to what the prophet saith—
And this the canniballed male spider learns,
Eaten by her, as her he’d try to lay,
Who procreates in separation’s day—
No spark of love or life or hate there burns,
But, listen now to what the prophet saith,
Only a life of procreating death.

FINGERPRINT

I want to fingerprint you
All over.
I want to fingerpaint you
All over.
I want to finger you, finger you,
Linger and lingua you,
Finger you everywhere,
Everyhow, everywho,
Finger you, all of you,
Paint and imprint on you,
All of all over.

CINDYLEE

Utterly subtly,
Sinuous Cindylee
Slyly and shyly ties
Knots in my life;
Claiming to operate
Unparadoxically,
Cuts through my heart like a
Butter through knife.
