ALLEVIATION OF THE EFFECTS OF CHEAP ALLOYED JEWELS, NOW RELEGATED TO 'THE NAIVETY OF YOUTH'S JEWELS' FOLDER
but, for a few aches and pains,
and some diminished focus
and a white metal earring burning in my ear,
as I am drawn to some old, cheapish jewels from my Youth....
decor for my youthful intellectual Fantasies,
but later....relegated to the Naive Folder Jewels Box.
......My ear is almost instantly healed by having, now,
a purest gold pin through it,
with a tiny ruby suspended by a tiny platinum anchor chain from its sharpened point......
Yet, that constant humming continues
....not from a romantic medieval fantasy,
but from the persistent Noise of the World......
Pleasure is the greatest of escapes......
and offers many labyrinths within Oblivion,
with tethers to Reality, dropped to the floors of our Caves......
Yes, this is the young Lancelot,
who draws the maidens to their balconies, late at night,
when the nightbirds take mating insects by the moonlight
and the most infinitesimal ions of scent......
I feel the Earth move under me......
