throbbing light machine

notebook poem*

standardization, homogenization,
hygiene, urbanization

lack of anxiety about the
sybilline leaves

the stuff of ordinary being

but also orgasm denial

give me
a definition of summary

sexual love can be both embrace
and punishment

okay, I know this -

compassion requires violence: love
and conquest jammed together

the sadness of the story

I see a lot of chances to succeed
with this one
