Poem 101: Enter Bastard. Solus.

Wherefore base. Bastard? Base?
Spelled same:bass and bass
as in bass clef
and bass boaet

bass? bass?
which one am I saying:
one rhymes with face
while other rhymes with ass.

of course I know
it comes from the Latin
base
plus 'tard'

to be dealt with later
as in the art, or,ars, of.

I hope you're getting this.

bass plus tard: bastard
means 'begot in a saddle'

tis why I am alive:
so,
let copulation thrive

poem II:GRAFFITI IN THE HOUSE OF THE GODDESS

SKINLESS

BONELESS
BREAST: SHE IS
DEATH’S BRONZE MEDALIST

EVERYTHING SHE HAS DONE HAS BEEN
COSMIC
CHRYSELEPHANTINE
 & OF DUBIOUS FUTURITY

NO MATH FOR THESE RECKONINGS
NO MEASUREMENTS
FOR SUCH A HOUSE

FARE THEE WELL LADY KATHARYNE
