The Marketplace
There has always been fur in tea-cups,
the remarkable thing was
for a body
to point it out
like those that pointed out God
and Superman, mirror images
of ourselves, accomplishing
prodigal acts of abnegation,
arrogance and anthropophagy,
all the things we want and don’t
slammed on a platter of fable
and belief, like John’s head
dreamt I was Salomé last night
dancing with orgastic delight,
slow copulatory rhythm,
pressing my lips aginst the
closed lids of my hero,
absorbing his pain and execrations
into myself, until my hair writhed
the judge pointed out, kindly,
that I had sinned, I retorted
that since the BSE crisis
I was not quite myself,
would he give me another year
on the mountain to reflect and
a small allowance to buy cattle feed
for myself and my pets
