when you exhaust theology,
   and forget that it has any metaphorical
heavyweight punch,
   and when you then forget the hysterics
and militancy of atheism...
well... what next?
   the joy of writing myths -
which is also confined to a logic...
and in these confines?
     the child, the baron, the mother,
and the "companion" (daemon);
   so?
     well, we already have the myth of
thanatos & hypnos...
but we also have the myth of
   narcissus & solipssus -
with narcissus rendered free from echo...
and yet, we still have more!
    we known who the father is,
of these two newly discovered twins!
  the cyclops polyphemus!
and since there is no mention of the mother
of thoosa...
         but mention of her husband &
father (poseidon & phorcys, respectively),
well, why not compensate,
a generation later, by the same
shortcoming of unknown identity?
mythology has that particular knack,
of revealing solomon's mines...
         theology? ego-centrism with
the bias of: always being right...
     likewise in its chiral "twin" of atheism.
