LIKE A LANGUAGE

the unconscious is
structured like
a
language

is deus
ex machina

is reductio
ad absurdum

is fee fie foe
words and verbs

is a
tree with
infinite roots
exploding into
rain forest

Oh your
shadows and demons

on your breath they
suppress me

slipping in and
out of your speech

wrapped around participles
and gerunds like snakes mating

and so
to the poem

that thing
of slurred nonsense

that leaf that fell on the back
of psychoanalysis when
in dragon’s blood
it was bathing

ON THE OTHER HAND

birth

condensation

and
displacement;

death
(on the other
hand)

is that
same, similar

or
exact opposite:

displacement
and

c

AND SO WE MOVE ON

AND SO WE MOVE ON

press X
for

repression

hit the button
hard
soft
hard

and so
we move on

to
displacement

having mislaid
somewhere

the key
to release
