Poem
there are some parts of your personality
you must never look at
or Aristotle's logic will pay you a visit
for a 15th century anatomy lesson
an eye for an eye a throat for a throat
gargoyle armies hovering overhead
tongue for tongue trumpeting victory
the oracle had him tossed out
for vigorously offensive behavior
his cult believed that sex withers the bones
madman Rasputins rerouted his mail
how could work ever be its own reward
so he went shopping
Aristotle was known to fly the jolly roger
above his fortress of wasteless logic
a case of geriatric illumination
following the high voltage enema
and you learn that by reading the context
you can see around corners
he collapsed in a feral excess of laughter
at the idea of dying perplexed
it was a code 9 ambulance ride 
straight to Happy Valley’s neuro dock 
and thousand dollar an hour shrinks
for libido boot heel therapy
thrown again upon the funeral pyre of love
with the Empress of all the Russias
don't speak she said
and drove her turgid tongue
down my gagging throat
so far it broke off
just make it significant she keened
so he wrote like he lived
diminishingly bold
aggressively non-committal 
engagingly witless
a composite character
with a cryptographic message for the
whirling dervishes and temple ballerinas
and big breasted truck stop girls
vacationing in Puerto Aorta
you take a cliché you massage it right
you got them eating out of your laundry bag
my Tourette script writers again 
saved by the scales of justice
less frequently than by
the invisible hand of Larry Moe & Curly
all you can say to truth is
I hope you ain't the whole truth
dragged kicking and screaming
from the age of blind obedience
Aristotle addressed the basilica
as a shaft of light shone down
oh God of desert miracles
make me your most holy instrument
the sweaty basilica throng 
expecting a thrash metal anthem
murmured their discontent
and walked out in stony silence
Aristotle was immediately defenestrated 
by the Bishop of all the Americas
having shit uncontrollably 
and aggressively upon the altar
while uttering the plague curse
from the Ninth House of Nineveh
a wanton unrepentant savagery
such as seen in certain Pekinese lap dogs
a masterful mix of indifference and cunning
