Well done, Ida. I love the phrase "polymorphosly perverse"; it just rolls so beautifully off the tongue, even though it's not something one desires to be. That's the beauty of language!
Kafka's wrote of ' TRUTH ' that the closest to its realisation that we can come is....by dropping all our own ideas , hopes and prejudices etc of how things are and the absorbtion of how things are. Your poem reminds me of this.
A collection of stamps meet the sound of no envelope. Very clever. I love it. 5 polyamourous stars and purr at another favorite.

that's great Ida, and your last line is surely a 'koan' - your 'delivery' is just purrfect xx
