Prompt 09/03 |
Take it out and embrace the bristliness
of it all,
that first reflex to root it out,
to settle on the root,
root down long enough with strange children,
short people, disagreements
the fact of sex-
addition, tiny crosses,
two plus two and the obvious response
the fact of sex,
the fact of fucking so much bristlier
(could there be such a word?)
and that of not-at-all
not subtraction
not take-away
that of the not-at-
all the zero with the absence of shape
the bristliest of all
