6237. THEN HERMAPHRODITE THIS

THEN 
HERMAPHRODITE 
THIS
The wedge is in the circumferance like
the cut is in the cost  -  both fleeting, and
unfeeling together. Simple ideas for the
terminology of recognition. Something
amiss in the way the sepulchre flies apart.
The gash. The wedge-shaped flat opening.
-
Some lumberjack Charley with his tree-trunk
hands could show you a thing or two, I'd bet.
Sit him down for some tea and apple-cider,
and see how far you get. There's a cold wind 
that's whipping through the marshlands today. 
Since you cannot yet legislate hate, let's treat
him, instead, with kindness indeed.
-
Picture-books and young-boys' dreams.
Girls who dream of the Lancelot to be.
Knights in chining armor and Guiniveres
all over. Oh man, I've had it up to
here with this romance.
