I am male and female,
Female and male.
I walk in.
I run out.
I am male and female,
Female and male.
I speak
The language of life.
With tongues of Yin and Yang.
I am sharp.
I am obtuse.
I am male and female,
Female and male.
I am the mister’s mistress,
The keeper, the kept.
I am the bridge atop the dyke,
The second blunder, the black widow.
I am male and female,
Female and male.
I am yeoman of the Epicene.
I navigate the ruins of the sea in rapture of
Nature’s malady,
Drawn off course.
I am male and female,
Female and male.
Jezebel is my mother,
Emerson my father.
Darkness my fortress
Light my inspiration.
I am male and female,
Female and male.
