plural genius

there is no stopping us
because the two of us together
are not genius - we are that
times two. In latin, the plural

of genius
is genii:

that is us. We
can grant wishes
(and not only three:
as many as we please.
that resentful limitation
we can choose not to apply)
we can wish and grant
and wish and grant
all we want.

all we have to do
is both take our hands
caress this lamp

- and let the crash
of brimstone lightning

fill the sky
