MEDEA

AEGEUS: The dramaturgical 

        unlikelihood 

of the dragons that draw her chariot 

touches not her

Medea’s overturned bags

of horror

she comes with toxic surprises

yes she gives them to everyone

Thus clarified

are age-old questions of right

and redress

for, you know, of fractions she hath 

a breathtaking command

the which she hath imparted to the kids

Now she bears her meteoric car

abruptly into sylvan marshes

her gaping jaws

are a thing of terror

to the creatures living there

It is a season

of death and disfigurement

all around

    particle damage

    brain damage

    damage control

but let her come

I am the bitch-absorber
