32.

Origen is said to have castrated himself

            clipping the eucalyptus of his manhood
Must’ve then Crossed the Rubicon
     of the Epicycle of Existential Spatiality
                                                   hot
on the spore                   bathing
       the mushy genital corpsefig
                           in a mad fever of the utmost

         Too            as legend has it         

reports of beavers ripping off their genitals
& throwing them at hunters!

Nevermind        just spike your mind
like a football           Watch as the horsecars
return on Old Broadway            like a magician
on television
                    that has fooled naïve audiences
         in their living rooms

Like me     the most naïve person you’ll ever
know               The Magician is an anti-hero
Like me           

       
         Dream of the day            excursions to
wherewithal whereabouts       but no place         

Two people performing sign language
                                                   I watch them

                                                   from afar
thinking that it’s like
                    the Hieroglyphics of The Airy

Language our bodies emit to test
                                                      the air’s
patience
