Call It What You Like, Or, A Grinning Cat Can Look At Any Thing

 








Call It What You Like

Or, A Grinning Cat Can Look At Any Thing

by a female Faust


“How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice.

“You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”





Sweet yes, but not  — too —

the near unspeakable motley

that Strange Muse of thine infused

in thy metaphor’s variety


(If some creature out of whirling Air

or rushing Fire conjuréd

surely then she’d not to earth

be down, upon, or under it)


yet the extant fact this verse reply

itself shows well, nay off, your skill, 

if not the who, the how, &why;

thorough choice the sweetest stories tell


An it be not the tanned & tooled, still, fashion’s merely token

it may suit, the way my hide me suits; rules are nary found unbroken.








I dont want a damn thing from the sea, its all slippin

I need a bird from the sky cause shes free

Someone down to earth or pure fire like a Jinn.

Little bit of Angel, with the power of a litch, a little bit of demon with a bit of dragon skin..

I want em dressed in leather, like Max but better, cause I need em ready for 

a fight like crazy, and I need em Mad as all hell, like me..

Mis -- A Puzzle Poem By A Faust


Mis


Sing you America! Smash carriage fit! Defining spelling, using chance, giving print communication

Identify the mark, apprehending cue: tree tough, behave; your eye guiding, take direction:   

Lay a trick, no mere ill begotten scion.  Critical: manage informed representation —                          

Rule the boat, Sybil your able chief make, trust placing in/for her pronounced conception;

Match a beat, demeanor’s sorry index treating, lead: cast out adventure’s categorization;     

Understand the point, sell any thing: your accord, anthropic fire’s right perception;

Quote the memo, fortune’s deed: if conducting trial read, cite, construe interpretation.

Punk Chica Birth Day Poem




Punk Ass Chica,

by and to and for and why’d

by a female Faust


Today i got a visit

—I forgot to say,’O, is it?’—

from this woman I have known

who most often walks alone,


However far you’ve fallen

In your own voice is Heaven.


A friend to every creature,

She will  listen if they’ll teach her,

so readily thus led

a crow once landed on her head.


Aware that loving money spawning Evil

can almost anything leave ill,

she sees how rich men, in their pride,

discard more usefulness than hide.


So correct can guess a size

as if calipers for eyes

Yet  would rather miss a mile wide

Then think it better left untried.


Punk ass Chica, hella tough,

that sings so sweetly, it’s enough

to remind anyone who’ll hear

that wheresoever, Angel’s near.


However far you’ve fallen

In your own voice is Heaven.


She told me in her way

That her birthday way today.

I wish I’d answered then;

Hope I get to once again;


It is good to have a friend.

From An Us To A Y’all Or, Perhaps We Ought Play Bridge | a poem by a Faust


 


From An Us To A Y’all

Or, Perhaps We Ought Play Bridge

a poem by a Faust

a serendipity Divine is success at being other-halféd

complex, beautiful, & wondrous, an earnéd grace, it is

part sublime philosophy, part just — comfy & well fed

part, at the pub, of throwing knives engravéd hers & his

Acknowledgement, Or, Sine Qua Non | sincerely written by a Faust


 


Acknowledgement

or, Sine Qua Non


Like an acknowledgement quite written while its work is still but —  gleam

this from the hip opinion might be called lazy, selfish, worse

— by idiots alone. Notwithstanding how it seem

I know well to whom I owe my thankfulness for any skill at verse.

There is the subject, & the object, & there is also the — objective

There are those who help revision, help me focus, & refine

But there would be — well, nothing, save my own muted perspective

If I hadn’t grown within the wit with which I choose combine

O thou from my birth attendant, O ability discoveréd, Divine!

O friendship ever present, O Joy immeasurable on finding, 

O that which moves within me, to whose mine own  thoughts incline

O Spirit I must & always thank you, & should never need reminding:

My go to illustration of  philosophical supervenience

Is any other thing soever to my mind, 

&… my own


GENIUS.

To Mo | a poem by a Faust




 



to Mo

Or, As if you needed convincing, one reason among many


the world is better with you in it

easier to keep away

the stupid mindless evil when 

it threatens overwhelm my day


better looking at the ugly

when i think what you might say

better knowing something funny

sometimes i forget to play


not that anyone is perfect

certainly nobody here

but i never saw a human defect

make you change your love for fear


as if to show how seeing maybe

better finds a way to cope

& in this world such solidarity

is the same for me as hope

Or, Follow Back Pls

(a reply in imperfect rhyming verse)

by a female Faust


“WILL WRITE FOR SHORT-LIVED ADORATION”. —@TimCushing


O you who would've yet writing 

been to accrue more of such adoration

as when dies as it must 

lays the next moment hollow

too few new could've that insight 

seen, as we do, for as much sustentation

Initiation, Or The Mystery Of The House Of God

 





a poem by a Faust: 

Initiation 

or, the Mystery of the House of God 



& when at last i hold the key 

after searching, & searching, & feeling lost 

i wonder was it wrong of me 

to value thresholds never crossed 


& when at last i try the lock 

without once stopping thinking twice 

i find i barely had to knock 

in fact a whisper would suffice 


& when — at last — an opened door — 

no more of would or could or might 

i wonder what i waited for 

Time is & always has been right 


& when, at last, my steps are through 

no failing -- no trying -- 

no fear 

no fear 

i find i only needed to 

to see a thing familiar here. 



written over the course of more than a decade, 

beginning circa 1991
