between one step
and the other
there is time
to ponder
between one breath
and the next
there is space to be
the journey is a time to wonder
tents and mountains
provide rest and
make me see

Max Pollak: Oedipus and the Sphinx
. http://www.dirty-paper.com/artheap/angie/page/15.html
Oedipus wrecks on the road to Thebes
But he lost a blue suede shoe
He makes it into town just in time for The Wheel Fortune,
poor boy.
He buys a two vowels and answers the question
And he wins the throne and the crone
Vice is nice but incest is best
A boy’s best friend is his mother cause
Mama don’t lie
He plucks his eyes to see what he has done
And his daughter makes a grave for him at Coloneus
All is well that ends well
"When I asked, What walks on four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three in the evening, you answered, Man. You didn't say anything about woman."
"When you say Man," said Oedipus, "you include women too. Everyone knows that." She said, "That's what you think."
-Muriel Rukeyser [1973]
