The Genius Discusses Astrology

and you know what else? She’s all proud
to be a Gemini. She tells everyone,

as if being crazy was a prize
show horse she wants to tie up

in the front yard. Why would anyone
want to feel things twice?

Like yes, I'll take the electric chair
and the spear. I'll have the food poisoning

and the poison. May I please fall in love with
two different people at the same time until

love is peeling itself away from me
in all directions like I am a fucking banana

or a wishbone. Some days,
I feel sorry for her. I really do.

She doesn't realize it, but she is starving.
She's got too many mouths to feed

in that head of hers. She's got
too many heads on that vase of a neck.

Must be like making love
to a puppet show.
