the first day God created
all powerful, saw,
the man and woman,
  planted an apple,
patriarchal vision
  while powerful,
I purvey
   has limits.
all novels, all movies
   have Eden ruined
by some *****.
  An eternal theme
in fiction.
  I see similarities.
Whoa, is woman.
   And if the written word were not
fiction,
   Noah would'a had one
of each.

when I read Emerson
just the same
as when hearing
Led Zeppelin
or watching
Breakfast at Tiffany's
just a bit of breathlessness,
a spasm of
echoes ringing bells
Cat,
reflecting back,
in my gasps,
about to burst into tears,
touch,
deeply,
I don't understand it.
It,
is in me,
just driving, on on, endlessly,
the motif, the Theme,
rhythm.
