not Green Lantern

I'm the morph

you heard about

on late night tv

I turn myself into

(for example) the

Incredible Hulk or Gina Lollobrigida

(Google these if you're not sure

who I mean)

 

the transitions take months

and are quite comical

(when my dick disappears, for instance,

but is not yet its

counterpart)

 

I've got a following among small boys

and older women

with an independent income

you can find me on Digimon cards and giant

billboards (I was once revealed as Michael Jordan

50-storeys high

I was Michael Jordan)

or on the faces of expensive ladies watches

changing

slower than weather

 

but my little trick

is inherently dissatisfying

I want to go beyond

the silky poetics

of the human genome

like

 

a dung beetle in New South Wales or a

candelabra in Zurich

something challenging

(the transitions now grotesque,

 

going beyond the animate

is my chief desire)
