Riddle of the Sphinx

The Sphinx
had one eye
on the road
to Colossus
the one
in its forehead.

And Theseus said, "Hey,
are you a Kyklopoi
or a Sphinx?" except
he actually said,
"Cyclops."

To which the Sphinx
replied,
"Fuck you, raggedy
man, the riddle is,
Which do you pick,
fornicate
with your mother
or eat
your children?"

To which Theseus
replied
with his sword
of Damocles slicing
the Gordian Knot
of veins at the throat
of the minotaur-
looking
beast.
