chrysalis (d[i]s)section takes a scalpel to poetic form(s), making a collage of neo-[n]ietzschean rhyme, jazz-inspired intonation, & second-wave feminist calls for male castration / in three sections, the 'caterpillar to butterfly' cliché of personal metamorphosis is rewritten, while exoskeletal references are both irreverently & deferentially effaced / silly, serious, & {self-}referential: rhythmically-punctuated wordplay toys with the notion of authorship, across time //
