Fleeing Tail between my legs From the ravishes Of your lashes I take refuge in the ramblings Of madmen long dead Seeking to tap the will to power That I may refute Your imposing master-slave morality Compelling in its distracting hedonism Beckoning in its languid ambiguity Suffocating my Dizzying, radical freedom
Oh, noumenal world Take me now.
One look at you And I abandon My categorical imperative Doomed to the fate Of a being-in-itself Powerless to recreate And renew its essence Too busy being caught up In your scent I see what you are And scramble to The conclusion of What you ought to be With me
For you are beyond That which empirical validation Can encapsulate You are My Prime Mover And life without you Is nasty, brutish, and short And Rousseau was full of ****
I flee Because inner language The beetle in the box Can never be shared Not even with The most symmetrical of soulmates And what we may share May not even be authentic What we believe May not even be true Nor justified
Are you not satisfied With the power you already wield Over me?
Please My geisha Do not let your lips Be the antithesis to my pen.
For my geisha, who probably doesn't give two whits about philosophy.
