triptych

i

are shells feminine or masculine

what about firecrackers

and labels 

pigeonholes

and stereotypes

are they this or are they that?

ii

considering an alternate handle

for my alter ego

to tweet alternatively

in my altered states

to worship at the altar

of all terminated thought.

iii

tentacle around an ankle

insistent like only sex can be

my mind is on a bookmark

twisting searching penetrating

patterns form behind my eyelids

muscles contract and find an orbit

i become crochet comet dust as i come
