A Short Trip Out Of Distance That Was Everybody’s Private Affair, Including Ours”
When the body of
text “My Father’s Original
Bible” takes from me
the ecstasy (my father’s
original “Polyanna” is comforting
to an insufficient extent),
remain in motion
riddled with doubt—nothing
outside that ancient filmstrip
definitely won’t.
Certainly an entirety
outside a preschool charge
discourages the boldest
enemy to inundate a meal
for a boy she abhors
without massive quantities
of Benzedrine, in addition to
the unfamiliar “married-love-
making-poison.” When we
open eyes wide away from them,
certainly we’ll become fused for an entirety
outside of the woman/the man
experiencing for the first time
her calm, platonic moderation.
“ANTONYMY
In Oulipian usage, antonymy means the replacement of a designated element by its opposite. Each word is replaced by its opposite, when one exists (black/white) or by an alternative suggesting antonymy (a/the, and/or, glass/wood).” –from The OULIPOST Handbook
