Maybe You Aren't Any Body

    Maybe You Aren't Any Body
    
  “Yes, Let’s Fuck,” means Yes!
 
Nuanced headlining on  a printshop
page from a yet to be  assembled local
pamphlet addressing our student dating
etiquette, demystifing the Yes & No
confusion & I begin to understand our
need to  register mid-semester grades,
reduce ambiguities & mixed message
& make a few things perfectly clear.
 
Some ego structures stand in the way
of creative plenitude and need to be
suspended or punctured [crucified]
if the work is to proceed.  The artist
who is not always guarding his words
has more materials available than the
one who must feed a troop of custom
officials. ( Lewis Hyde, Trickster)   
 
You know when I’m aware of my Ego
Structure? When I’m insulted, accused,
frustrated, angered, blocked,
threatened, anxious.

Otherwise: unaware— driving to
Connecticut with a trunk full  of
Xmas presents, as it were: kids
asleep in the back, wife drowsing
in  front—suddenly a red light
flashes on the dash damnit, & I’m
attentive to  my big fat four door Buick.
