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.

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?
