#21__invention

2009 November 22

man’s first invention
was the sidekick
the poets of beginning have it god
made chaos first and then began
creating all those sweet dichotomies.
a god of categories, neat and orderly,
made each and  other
all and nothing yes and no
day, night
land, sea
the green:  the flesh
then the poets bring in point of view
and have the god create one lonely man
we women, it would seem, derive from dream
like the plow and rib-shaped bow
cobbled together
from parts
when need arose
the poets knowing
falling action needs
a fall guy
