Maenad

We go from one rave to the other
for we do not believe in
getting up early to work the next day
get up from bed
if both your set of balls are not stuck together
like when Daddy
found the stray dogs
attached to each other’s balls
he had to hose them
in water quite winter cold.
We go from one bed to the other
hoping to find the one
with the right amount of warmth
and the right body to emanate it from
if you believe in things like love
commitment, and the equation
that states that the sum of those two parts
equals felicity, whether domestic or not.
We go like maenads
for if we cannot have love before our 30’s
we will enter a state of frenzy
this city is too cruel
too cold
for a cold bed with just one body in it
lonely is cruel
as is the frenzy of finding another.

Maieutic

If knowledge is air
then your head is wise
if and only if your bridge
to the Akashic Records
is still latent in the mitochondria
of your genes.
Knowledge is air
as air is sword
bring Ragnarok along
with Excalibur
and El Cid’s Espada Colada
challenging the moors
as Greeks challenge the Amazons and centaurs
and everything that is not Greek
depicted with beastly big phalluses
and lower behavior
Knowledge is still air
if air is in your head
if we reminisce
if we remember
for if thought is energy
knowledge is real power
the telekinesis of God
brought to us, not by bitten forbidden fruit
but by maieutics
which is another way of saying
to remember what is already there
as knowledge itself is air.
