How many demons and imps are in the world?
Ha ha! I laugh when I'm asked that question;
Demons and imps are numberless and timeless.
Angels flit in and out of existence like quarks
And anti-quarks but demons and imps exist
Forever even if their wicked work may change.
For example sexual intercourse near outdoor toilets
Was forbidden for centuries and imps kept watch
But today those same imps spy on men (women too),
Lawyers, doctors, Wall Street types, famous athletes,
Anyone who watches pornography on their computers
Or phones and that comprises most of the population.
What about Lilith the terrifying queen of the demons?
Now you're talking. Imps can cause techno-related
Embarrassments but Lilith can transform herself into
The Serpent from the Book of Genesis, the Golden Calf
From Exodus, or even into a shyly blushing bride on
Her wedding night who very suddenly stops blushing.
Remember: Lilith bolted from Gan Eden for wanting
To be "on top." Feh, feh. You know what else?
After the ruin of the Second Temple when God
For a time was estranged from his female aspect
Lilith and God became intimate with one another.
That really happened — feh! — but it's a secret.
