DEFENESTRATE

On the long hold to

disbarment, I probably

would. But jumping like

that would only break 

my ankles? Over and

above (funny, to say 

that), nothing much

else would do.

-

Once, as a high flyer,

I played bootie with all

sorts of people. Those

renegade punks at St.

Mark's Church, diving

and dumping for all they

were worth. The lazy

firemen who hung at

the bar in clutches.

-

I'll say again: I'm not a

lawyer, but the long hold

to disbarment would crack

my substantials : cynicism

and a crafty tongue. They're

all the same, those words -

disparagement, discernment,

derationalization, defenestration,

demise and domain. De rigeur!

-

Both the animus and the anima

can share these weird sensations.
