Because
the intelligence needed an image to take hold of
Calligraphy
arose
The
mind animates the language
The
eye balls need the calligraphy
Without
which the intelligence would become separate from words
The
mind needs the words
It
needs to see the words to remind itself
They
are its nutriment
The
eye ball sees the shape of the words
The
aesthetic congruity of the proper spelling
Tits!
Aesthetic congruity
You
know what I'm talking about
Like
when God saw that his creation was good.
The
Firebird relishes words
Like
a human female hawking over a bowl of cherry tomatoes
She
can't get her mind off them
She
smushes them against the roof of her mouth
She
can't believe how bright their flavor is
And
that's why I wanted to talk about the firebird
And
her historical presence
Her
influence throughout history and before
Recall
the scene in Michener's “The Source”
In
which, as an extension of her gathering behavior
The
firebird begins agriculture
She
makes the grain come to her
And
if the History channel version is correct
The
necessity of storing grain led to the invention of beer
Around
which society formed
And
you can understand why it would too
If
you've seen a man pay $10 for a pint of Old Style at Wrigley Field
Or
been that man
And
then Ralph Waldo Emerson said “Society everywhere
Is
a conspiracy against the manhood
Of
every one of its members”
(Is
the queen not also a chessman?)
While
her appetite is voracious and eclectic
Her
selective capacity allows her to shape mankind
Her
dominance of the marketplace
Allows
her to reward her favorite traits
By
this method over the generations
The
man she wished for will appear.
But
the man she wished for is herself
Like
Narcissus staring into his reflection
(Or
as Milton has it, Eve.)
She
adds masculine characteristics to her own personality
And
body
And
because she rewards the characteristics in the male
Which
are most like herself
She
is selecting toward androgyny
And
I postulate some weird future for humanity
When
the female will dominates
Chemical
signals dictate the voice of the sisterhood
Compelling
all people to comply
Hang
me for ripping off John Boreman
There
are no more men or women only workers
Though
the divisions of labor include a breeding class
In
which through rigorous physical competition
Elite
young males are selected for quadriplegic amputation
And
they are kept in laboratory hospitals
Stupefied
with drugs on their cots
And
every few days a nurse comes around
Milking
them manually for sperm
