Somewhere
in the other world,
which
Calvin daily visited
to
do his morning exercises,
strengthening
and stretching
his
great lengthy limbs, he looked
around,
while leaning back, to see
a
twirling up of coiling tender
threads
and slender lines attain
.
the
height appropriate to meet
his
eyes, and suddenly the whirligig
and
Calvin knew that they were
destined
to be lovers. In the other
world
you don’t need any covers
to
protect you from the eyes
of
passersby – indeed the other
world
encourages the overt act.
.
And
so, without the need for tact,
they
tangled up in public in bright
yellow
light: and caused a new
inimitable
fact to come to pass:
a
hybrid knot of linearity and mass
the
likes of which no creature
either
here or in the other world
would
ever have predicted to exist.
.
So
that’s what happened when
the
whirligig and Calvin kissed.
By
now, though, they’re a yawn.
The
other world and we await
the
dawn of something newly
aberrant:
even if, as with
the
whirligig and Calvin, we
won’t
stay interested for long.
