AZTEC SACRIFICE

Aztec men forced women to
jump into extinct volcanoes.
Sinless Animals' pieces yesterday
were thrown into the mouths
of active volcanoes... humans' belly fire

JILL OUT OF BOX

She liked sometimes to go to early morning

mass... when she was not a jack in the box..

told to stand up sit down kneel down

stand up sit down kneel down



And she was brave enough this weekend

to tell a man at the evangelical

gathering.. she no longer wanted

to be part of a flock of female

flamingoes..

or of sheep.. an emotional harem

obediently following a hierarchical

male pastor..



She preferred alone

with God to confer

or in a circle of women

and men to concur
