afraid of his age,
Pan fostered teams of tomboys
—and so adoring too.
longing forbidden
and mother forsworn
Pan bonded with the boys
skirting the divine feminine
—the Goddess
whose intelligence called him to account
—the Shrew
whose years hit too close to home without base
—the Yin
whose complement posed painful reflection
the nerve!
Pan preferred playmates
wearing knee-socks
with whom
he could pant
(skipping redress altogether)
refine belching
(in lieu of language)
finesse spitballs
(that mocked kisses)
targeting dreams
(at shooting ranges)
team sports
all
—that barely a brow
raised—
Pan raised tomboys
—denying the company
of men and women
both.
