Triangularity
Guy named Johnny, a bit of a nerd,
His girl Sally, a cute sort of bird,
They want to try do it,
Had Rex help them through it,
Now all happy to do with a third.

~~Tania Kitchin
Uncross your eyes and stop thinking about it they told you in third grade but you did not cry you had a faster mind to stop and think about that running sneaker across the gravel and how you thought you could fly.....
Now you sit in a room cross-legged and cradling a globe lap-size with a rusty nail in the continental divide......
(Don't start a war or a fire on the lawn)
Loose nothing upon the crags of your eyes...Out there it will fall on your head, split it in half, start a chain reaction, cyclotromed to blush and blend you into nuclear dress......
(Look at what it does to you)
Invoke the poetic ghost, host some doors to futurize through, leave the webbed wing, the triangularity.....
(You are not Old)
Should sin imagined need that we atone
For angles lying equilaterally prone?
Conjunctive on an even parity
Of head and toed triangularity.
Passion shaped by she and he and she,
Yet friendship, understanding holds the key;
Pyramidal the power of the prism,
A dark side of the moon eroticism.
And though the devil days need exorcism,
Night in liquid silk somnambulism
Moulds the flesh and satiates the brain,
Three sides to every story they remain.
Arise convention's bones and drab disdain
At value judged contaminants again;
The Triad burning love when night must fall,
Embraces all for one and one for all.
