9) The stick and the hole

It seems that the world

In its entirety

The delicacies of society

That civilize its rude biological

Economical

Egonomical

Endpoints, despite the softness

The lace and gold

Despite

All seems to point, in the end,

To the vulgar end of

The stick and the hole.


The stick and the hole:

The world jumps into a binary code

Countless games fall

Like stacks of cards

All the world is a stage

Where the tic-tac-toe

Of the stick and the hole

Strike themselves

In endless rounds

Of sleepless nights

Of loveless nights.


Freud is right

When he says that

There are only two objects

Or rather subjects

In this world

And that there is only one mean

And that there is only one end

All the world is a stage

Where the drama of the key and the keyhole

Winds itself into infinite

Infinite

Nests of desire.


Sometimes I wonder

Why there is no intermediate

Between the stick and the hole

That why in such an age of diversity

There exist no artistic-creative diversity

On that matter

The matter of the worldly

Universe.
