Inana Shlash

How I wish I knew you
I would have melted
And oozed into
Your shoes
lingering many hours
Before you finally
Took a shower

I would have been a blanket
Embracing your back
Nuzzling against the nape
Of your neck
Until you wandered away
To a cool breeze
On the deck

If the gods would have
Smiled on me
I could have been
A billion water droplets
Easing into the hundreds
Of thousands of pores
In your silken skin

Alas
Our missile
Blew you away
And I don't know what to say

It’s not much, I mean, but
uh, nothing, sorry, man I got butterfingers
slippery as my tongue, here
did you drop something, are you sure?
cause my thump-thumping heart dropped
so hard to the floor when it knew you were near
that it bounced right back up
right where it goes, then straight out my crown chakra,
only to dissipate and erupt
into Truth
the literal and the metaphorical
allegorical nebulas that resonate in full high-definition colour the way
all Nine symphonies played simultaneously
would look
sedimentary, like a cheesecake

when I first saw you, something
shifted in my horoscope with the same scope and scale
of a modern Greek myth – Prometheus rising, fire
in the eyes of one woman, that’s all
all Aphrodite could gather up—fix it to the mainstay, Odysseus
let’s get to it, in siren seas, eating weeds to survive
if there’s nothing left when Cthulu
comes alive, I hope at least
I’ll get to talk to you at a party
like, once, where we’ll mix some more
mythologies

Once Inana birthed the world, and Spider Woman showed her how
I could show you how Saraswati
makes music, and old Bacchus stays on his feet
Care to play my Isis? If that makes me Osiris
then drown me, chop me up. Throw my body
to Mr. Lucifer; the Morrigan will come to inspect your ****
and finding it satisfactory
will whisk you away somewhere better

How’s that last part sound to you, eh?

there’s not much left to waste in the techno age
of “nothing in moderation,” with all our
degradation,
defamation,
discrimination,
and mild inflammation caused by
nonspecific anxiety medications
in our nation of constant false elation,
so
my point is time
the one thing we got left to waste
is time, and I’m a dedicated pacifist, but
I wouldn’t mind killing
some of that, with you

Let’s blow this pop stand
and go hunting.

a                            innnnnnn  t th                              e very beginning of
every                                           advanced                               society
           one finds something      the Sunday                                     Funnies used to
be the                         cutting edge;
The Colossus of Rhodes        /roʊdz/ (Ancient Greek:      ὁ Κολοσσὸς Ῥόδιος,
                  transliteration.                  ** Kolossòs            Rhódios) was a          statue of the Greek sun-god                      Helios,      designed in part    by the world      renown                     genius
     engineer                Archemides    , gigantic L e B ron man straddling  to be      erected             as a m sentinel     to guard      over   in the to look o city of  
   Rhodes,              on the Greek i            sland           of the same name, by Chares
         of Lindos        in 280 BC.       One of the            Inana              bronze        Seven Wonders of   the
nnnnnnnnnnn                         /    Ancient World,     /     originally of the seven veils     designed                       to a mechanical man;    
               it was constructed      to celebrate            Rhodes' victory over Cyprus
  & Antigonus I                               Monophthalmus,               whose son then           unsuccessfully
n               attacke        d                        Rhodes in 305 BC.
                        that looks like a comic;
     they end
book; pictographs give                  graphic novels are read more closely
                       than actual news  
                     ;newspapers;                       all lie in social decline
              way to hieroglyphs         (mythic                    monuments told tales;                                      &                "Mother of the Sun,     Theia
                   of many names,            for your sake men             honor gold as more powerful       than anything else; and                 through the         value you best             ow on them,                             o queen,                        ships contending on the sea
               and yoked               teams of horses                       in swift-whirling contests                               become marvels."
                      soon we'll all know                        Chinese.                  the Colossus stood 100 feet high—                    approximate
height                                  of the modern                              Statue of Liberty
        from feet to crown;                which was  originally           designed    as  a massive naked                woman representing Liberty;
