if not properly understood
at least there's no conclave
or the secretive language
and she complained and complained
and i was using secret language
and she thought i might as well
be getting extra-cirriculum ***
but instead she didn't realize that
i love thinking and especially
when i'm alone this is better than
t.v. and she's not used to someone
being entertained by the jellyfish
worth of the mind
and i can have plenty more afternoons
where this morning came...
and then there's the night craft
of wanting to be left alone
even given the daily routine of everyone
else in the vicinity
a sort of William Burroughs typo
in the bowels of Antwerp and later Cairo
or north Africa in general
and like the old ancient Roman world
and where it came
and went
and then Christianity replaced it
then you wonder where
the argument for Islam against Christianity
is and where Judaism left
and made the biggest imprint since
the PYramids:
in the CHImneys of Aushwitz
and it took so little time by comparison
that there was no time
for Messiah Pope or Antichrist
