The Problem with Imaginary Creatures



The problem with imaginary creatures
is translucence: always coming in
and out so incrementally

and incidentally
from here to there
to barely anywhere

they can’t be totted up as fact:
they aren’t long enough intact
or rather too long not becoming what

they seem to want to be,
at least as long as their inconstancy
remains a constant,

to achieve the work of re-construing
what you’ve clearly misconstrued –
until the only flick

of anything
you can imagine doing
to them would be rude.

Which might
be shrewd.
Stick 'em where it’s lewd.
