WHY SATAN TURNED HIMSELF INTO A REPTILE
A reptile for Michael,
A reptile for Eve.
Michael, God's bully boy,
More evil than the Evil One,
Evil turned against evil,
Double negation,
Decadently virtuous,
Painted by Piero,
A fascist, a gauleiter.
A reptile for Eve,
Eve the unfallen,
As female sexuality
Tied to authority.
How could I speak
As a mammal, a man?
This God, walking in the garden,
So strong, hates me, wants to
Crush me, suffocate me,
Overpower me with his moral force.
Within the circle of your loathing
I have decided to flourish.
I shall creep, I shall writhe, I shall
Procreate,
In your detestation.
I grow cold, I transmute.
There there is space.
I shall live a cold and an unsightly
Thing, outside the order of your
Sympathy and understanding.
