.                                                 dalet, ד
      vav, ו‎
     latter "sigma" kaf, ך‎
          nun that's
   siamese with vav, ן‎
         pe, ף‎
             resh, ר‎,
             and qof, ק‎:
                     jokes for P.

and these are permutations,
    i can only call these letters
  a concentration on the end product,
the shape of a skeleton of a number,
the bowing angel, 7.

        pe?        unlike qof,
    it curls inward onto its spine,
and almost resembles a 9...
again, curves are a source for ambiguity,

a lot of sevens in hebrew,
     plenty more sixes in greek though...
sure, in comparison to hebrew,
the culmination of letters resembling
it, give the number rachitis,
but let's face it... that's 5 letters and
only 1 number: the 5:1 ratio will
bend you a bit.

beside the point...
the original chimera consisted of:
a head of a goat,
    a body of a lion, and a tail
  as a serpent...

   keep up! we're supposedly living
in the 21st century... i still don't know why
people comment on this century
(just begun) with just glee and optimism...
    pessimistic **** that i am...
  
   anyway... why are the writers of myths
more powerful than philosophers?
  yawn... philosopher never bother themselves
with images, the best image they can
conjure and rationally discuss, is a wheel:
   oh look, **** rolls!

   ah, but there's a second chimera, befitting
our times (and yes, i mean chimera as
a hybrid, like breeding certain types of dogs)...

so what could possibly make up the modern
   chimera, given such an implosion of
feminine values?
   ah... borrowed, from the animal kingdom,
and the insect kingdom too...
   ***** is scary as ****... makes the original
chimera get *****-slapped...

    we have the head of a mantis
  the body of a black widow spider...
  and a tail of a lionness...
                  for the latter part,
   aren't lions lazy, given that lionnesses
     do the hunting?
                  ******* maaaa-giggy-giggy-gic.

p.s.
   obvious to say, juxtapositions of
  the trinity of this modern chimera are welcome;
the chimera had to evolve,
      in the original you had two mammals
and a lizard...
     in the modern version, give the number
of people in urban areas, you barely need
a mammal, but you do,
           but you have to move beyond lizard
and enter the insect realm.
