FUCK...!
Indeed! It's just what everyone needs once ina while, a good sound fucking...
To be squashed between the matched bodies of two great gods like the delicate
oyster that conceals itself between the impermeable walls of its pearly hideaway
The DANCERS move away from the
POET and MUSE into a central space
between the two. They remove their clothes
and begin to melt into each other's bodies

The lights slowly fade on the POET and MUSE, both of

their coupling. Their movement slows down as their bodies
become impossible to tell apart, and the lights very slowly fade out

I remember teachers illustrating Einstein to be a genius by
the fact that he would forget to wear sox, or would wear
sox that didn't match,
and I thought, even then, that just the fact that these rediculous
nits would bother to make note of whether a person wore
sox, or unmatched sox, perfectly illustrates why they are
not geniuses.
Lights up on the POET and MUSE. While they are not in te same space, they
are trading stories as if they were having a late night face to face with drinks.
Fourth Exchange: Two Nooses
I remember my mother taking me to purchase my rst
athletic supporter.
"Small." she told the salesman. And I countermanded, bodly,
"Large."
We got the small. It t just ne.
I remember my brother making a deal with me, that if I
would let him do it to me, he would let me do it to
him.
Well, I did, and he didn't.
Now he's married, with kids,
and I'm embarrassed to ask ...
I remember when my friend Karen's husband had just left her, after
forty years.
"You don't know what it's like," she admonished me;
"No," I conceded, "and you don't
know what it's like to be left by forty husbands."
Innocence can only be donned by a
soul who has tried everything.
The MUSE, never at a loss for words, is silent
I should brush my teeth.
The POET stands up, goes to the sink and splashes some water on his face

When I truly think of you I realize that I don't
have a clue who you really are - do you smoke, do
you drink to excess, do you show kindness to strangers?
When I am sick will you nurse me with joy;
when you are sick will you allow yourself to be coddled?
Are you good with the non-theoreticals? Is there blood
behind your honed words?

Nobody ever told me it's fun growing old,
to laugh at the years and watch time unfold,
life is a mirror which riddles the truth:
age is but an excess of youth!
The Poet can sense his sadness and fear. His tone
therefore softens a bit, but his sentiment is the same.

Angelic forms are cruel at best,

while souls are captured, bound and gagged,
as ever we play this mortal tag.
