Minutes of our Meetings: for Gwen Jones – By Freeman Tao

Oh silver goddess – I’m Jonesing, honest – I need some Gwen – to Yang my Yin

Inspirations’ come a-thronging – As my Empress for me comes longing.

To silver temptress strum a songing – As stenographers record our wronging.

My lady Gwen, our mother hen, eternal source of autumn spring.

No matter when, command me sin, internal force pendulum swing.

In council chambers – I’ll be thy ranger – to delve thine valleys – to mount thy peaks.

Renounce our names – we’ll be the same – our bodies mingled – our souls to seek

You sit your throne – my flesh and bone – yours to inspire – or yours to chafe

In council chambers – where we play strangers – to keep your secret – to keep it safe

Oh silver goddess – I’m Jonesing, honest – I need some Gwen – to Yang my Yin

Oh puppet master – tug my strings faster – I’ll dance a dervish – a deadly spin

I’ll breach decorum – announce a forum – solicit proposals – to fill thy cup

I’ll reach consensus – of all five senses – illicit motions – my time is up.
