COURTESAN
YOUR MOTHER IS A COURTESAN YOUR ANIMUS A PIMP
Bella has a glint in her eye She is bigger than the other
kids One might say ungainly +her choreography reeks
of Lolita She is a big-girl twitching for Summer
Teacher is stocky Eats snacks with a wild abandon full of
dark-sarcasm He eyes me suspiciously Had a teacher once
young + undone by schoolgirl fantasies stood way too close
Now 2 girls toss a rose-coloured ball One shouts: MY BALL DON’T
FUCK WITH ME Chases the moist boys away What is foretold?
Bella will have carnal knowledge quite early Teacher holds her against
his snack-laden body Seriously Toronto park waning Spring 2015
He may not have read the manual with comprehension Bella in
heart-shaped glasses returns to her pimp in the Niagara Region as
often as possible Young teacher the subject of schoolgirl fantasies+
animus complexes

*In its negative aspect, the animus constellates as the inner critic, judge,
sadist, murderer, evil magician and the proverbial cad who constantly
informs the woman that she’s ugly, worthless, stupid, and unlovable.
Animus = male aspect of a woman’s psyche shaped by her earliest male
encounters. C.G. Jung
Last days Spring 2015 for C.S. Regent Park +Niagara
