Afflict the Afflicted
Afflict the Afflicted
The Comfy, comfortified,
are rhinos; but the wounded
& vulnerable (damaged &
damaging, damnit): them are
just asking for it--half way
there already.
Fantasy has free play—
poised between acting in
the material world,
and taking it as a field
for detached symbolic play.
(Lewis Hyde, Trickster)
Which rib was it actually that
God yanked to make Eve?
Einstein claimed imagination is
more important than knowledge
and rode a beam of light thinking
about relatives.
“Bears don’t talk, Daddy,” she
said—ruining forever our
appreciation of Winnie
the Pooh.
