All Things Silly Like So

James offered the exclamatory utterance,
"Here are some goat stomachs,
ready on the fire to stuff with blood and fat,
good supper pudding."
 He received no antithetical valorization,
but if want this vehicle and the intrigue,
it was bad conducted as Morgan Le Faye rose
from a lake of milk bathed in a buttery glow,
and the draw bridge , yellow butter.
From her we know bagpipes were invented in Persia,
those non-bound, non-flying elements and floating signifiers.
What a rhetorical gesture of repressive uniformity,
but then again, Polynesians seem to regularly kill two-thirds
of their children, so what is the surprise that horribly
Munch feared women, and what he felt was their murderous possessiveness.
In this dynamic rivalry between house and universe
we are removed from any reference to the simple geometric forms
of gerbils or sand rats, who are nocturnal, burrowing,
feeding on seeds and grain.
But such is life and all things silly as so.
