Here's a poem from the collection. (The original myth goes like this: Circe lived alone on an island, and turned every man who approached her into a beast; notorious was the band of men sent by Odysseus—they were turned into pigs.)
Circe
typical:
the woman is blamed
for the man’s behaviour
as if he has no control
over himself.
maybe it all stems from his dick:
one thing beyond his control,
and unhappily for him
(and stupidly, I might add)
the one thing he has vested
his entire manhood in;
so no wonder he develops this complex:
he compensates with this ridiculously
no, dangerously
distorted need to control
and becomes, as an entire sex,
dominating and domineering
always seeking, taking, seizing control—
while at the same time
denying control
and charging the woman
(who tempted, who provoked)
with full responsibility
for what happens
they say you turned them all into swine:
but we know better—
when a group of men
comes upon a woman alone,
we know what they act like.
