A DEBATE WITH A GLOVE

John Higgins, Mary McCluskey

what about them? I flashed

my palm and wagged it.

The personality as the

site of spiritual advancement

what about my book?

Spirituality & Sexuality,

that’s all. Make the young dogs

pay. A play is an opportunity

to do something visual.

My vision. Here let me straighten

these shirts. Eileen spoke

so well about the creative

process. Maybe she would

like to do it again.

What about those monuments?

The beggar & the priest.

The weight of my cunt.

Let me walk the streets of Baghdad.

Are these breasts mine?

What kind of problem is a poem.

We don’t get to choose what

kind of spiritual experience we

have. We don’t get to choose

our orgasm. We don’t

even get to choose our

lover. What happened to me.

Who was she.

Are they bedbugs.

Take me to Delhi fast.

I itch.

At five my soul wants to be

alone. With the world &

its armies. With my

sex. With my hands

with my beautiful

hands. She had

been turned

into a deity

in the end.

First she vanished,

then she was

that.

I know what kind

of god

I’d like to be.

A blue god.

A blue god man.

Those men, they make

me want to dance.

Tell me something else.

Was I married.

Have I been here

before. Why am I

always in between.

Is it late or

is it early.

Money, I could

give a shit.

Fame, forget it.

An authenticity

that rattles

my bones. Is

it two of

everything

or one.

Is it none.

I’m sorry we

went to war

with you &

broke your

bridge.

I’ll fix it now.

Really. Should

we get married

or something?

I’m very

smart. Oh

you don’t

think so.

Well. Maybe

I’ll write

a poem. Suddenly

I don’t care

that I’m

gonna

die. Even

the bed keeps

me awake.

The breeze

of the world.

It opened

my jar.

It called

me home.

It said,

Lucifer!
