Gislebertus’ Eve

Most men are not wicked … They

are sleep-walkers, not evildoers.

KAFKA TO G JANOUCH

EVE & her envy roving slammed me down

prone in discrepancy: I can’t get things right:

the passion for secrets the passion worst of all,

the ultimate human, from Leonardo & Darwin

to the austere Viennese with the cigar

and Bohr a-musing: ‘The opposite of a true

statement is a false statement. But the opposite

of a profound truth may be another profound truth.’

So now we see where we are, which is all-over

we’re nowhere, son, and suffering we know it,

rapt in delusion, where weird particles

frantic & Ditheletic orbit our

revolutionary natures. She snaked out a soft

small willing hand, curved her ivory fingers on

a new taste sensation, in reverie over

something other,

sank her teeth in, and offered him a bite.

I too find it delicious.
