My Own Private Ulysses: More Logic of the Litany

Bloom’s Sweets of Sin contain the erection            

Of Wandering Rock’s great bridges and bridge          

Both halves of His episode collection.                

Then Music without Words, Sirens abridge.             

Cyclops, His myope foe, Bloom filled with woe.        

Reprover of the Citizen, indeed!                       

But Our Friend of the Frillies failed to sew          

In Nausicaa, and only spilled His seed.

Bloom’s seminal role in Oxen of the Sun is not vague, 

Midwife Most Merciful serves seeds that sprout.       

Potato Preservative against Plague                    

and Pestilence prevents Circe’s pig snout.            

O this prayer by the Daughters of Erin,          

Blesses the fruit of Bloom’s womb unbarren.

Stay tuned for more spermatozoon sonnets.

Same fruitful time, same fertile channel.
