Hugh Fox
SATORI


Enlarged prostate, PSA

test, cancer,Lupron shots,

a heart attack and I find

an internet file that says

Lupron causes blood-

coagulation, “So what

did you used to do in

the past?” I ask my

urologist, “Well, castration

always worked. Androgyn

is the enemy,” I get

castrated in his office

that afternoon, no more

androgyn, at first the idea

of total sexlessness

horrible, Mr. Wildman Me,

then my postmenopausal

Brazilian wife and I become

best-friend pals, forget

our jungle ape-selves and

turn into landscapists,

musicholics, film- and

play-buffs, pass the Cabernet

Sauvignon, how about a

trip to Curitiba,a visit to

Carpinteria Eden on the

California coast....how

about....? The peace descends.

Sun, a little breeze, a walk

over the hills, ca sufit.




FALL




Everyone’s personal holocaust,

“What do you mean?” she asks

as we walk over cold rain cemetery

hills looking for Hugh Fox Senior,

Helen M. Fox, Joey and Mable,

Halloween all ear surrounded by

the ghosts of our genes.






LEAVING



Leaving Little Emily balletlegs-turned-

prosecutor-savior and

monster-smiler Walla Walla Charlie

Not-So-Sure-Oldster,

Lynn word-gamer Victoria B.C.,

Leaving Carpinteria and Santa Monica,

Mochica territory in the north of Peru,

Yopi Acapulco territory,

getting Rest in Peace

tickets to

what's the noseless, eyeless, breathless,

brainless

difference?
