Its unsettledness,
having to navigate the rocks,my own and everyone else’s feelings and expectations—
bad as Odysseus.
Odysseus had his Circe and Calypso—
Calypso was a sweet chick—
I could almost have spent my whole life with her,
but, feeling kept and urged by duty,
escaped and landed with Nausicaa’s Philistines—
thence home to Penelope.
Odeweysus always finds it best
to take things at face value.
Might have to pay too much—
real and face value may not agree—
maybe even in their own favor. . .
I take myself at face value,
but who set the price?
Don’t know what the actual cost will be,
but the real value is at least one orgasm per day,
wherever I’m at home.
