A sexual fantasy
Models the terms
Of an argument.
*
So-called simple binaries
Aren’t so simple:
Male-female,
Emptied-filled,
Possessor-possessed,
For example.
*
Derrida’s notion
That all others
Are absolutely other
Seems relevant here.
*
I’m a continuum.
Are you?
*
We need
To ask
One another
More questions.
*
Is desire
A hole
Or voice
Or conflagration?
*
Beauty is not
A rare thing, Ezra.
Compassion is.
*
I/You:
At least
2 rivers.
*
What do
You want?
Who are
You, anyway?
*
First person
(always plural).
*
When is
Being saying?
When is
Saying knowing?
*
The music
Of smooching.
*
What’s
A performance?
Is a dildo
Merely a noun,
A banana
Only a fruit?
*
Dear _____,
Don’t know
How to
Respond to
Your inquiry.
What do
You want?
Sincerely,
Blank
*
Can’t imagine
At this
Moment any
Thing other
Than this:
A public
Speaker begins
By saying
That it
Is available
For sexual
Activity at
The conclusion
Of its remarks.
*
Remarks is
A strange word.
*
Have come
To abhor
Quotation marks.
*
Is grammar Grandma?
Grandma, by the way, rocks!
*
Who wants
To be
Entered
By whom?
Who wants
To enter whom?
*
How intertwined are
Art, religion, desire?
What gets warshopped?
*
Can we
Exchange scenarios?
Call me you.
*
What belongs
To what?
How does
One decide?
