:: father, why have you...? ::

2003-06-02
4 6:08 p.m.

the children frolick
& the old men piss
carcinogens
back
into the mainstream...

the children
frolick &
the old men piss --

no dingy alleyways, no alcohol, just
the timeless copper elixir
that the feminist ink pen spews;
you know how encompassing
phallocentrism is right?
& that
oppressive patriarchy...

(it's) enough to drive a
grown woman to drink, i say --

so what if the kids are watching?

let them!

let them gaze
and glare and stutter
and stare and...divine
their own bleak futures from the
(sublime) curves of this here
wine glass...
as they

frolick,

as their
fathers
give back to the earth
that which they so surreptitiously
sucked dry from it. burned a hole the
size of Jupiter in our atmosphere,
& still ain't satisfied.
ain't done suckling at mother nature's
free-for-all waterholes
or murdering her *other* children.
ain't done frolicking & cavorting
while they...

piss the children back into the orgy --
into drink, debauchery &
popular culture:
lifestyle decadence...
it's what's for dinner.

i have never been one for
clear blue skies;
dew-dampened cotton fields where
the bolls are easy picking;
microwave dinners;
thighmasters & this...
insta-driven,
just-add-water
world.

give me anarchy & war --
conflict, strife
& an impossible learning curve

give me my own dreams, shattered &
splintered into wailing shards
reflecting misery & its
minions of comfort w/in the
velvet confines
of a silver platter.

strip me of my wings --

pluck my feathers for furcoats
& forbid me reproduce.
my unborn children shall frolick
& my old men shall piss,

if only to survive.
& i will suck surreptitiously
from them the
sustenance they were so unapologetic
in taking. they shall crown me
queen of the vagrants & i shall wear
my crown of dollar-store thorns
w/ all the
misplaced
dignity
a pickpocket can muster.

this shall be my song: my
serenade of self,
my acceptance speech,
my eulogy.
these words here -- sharpened to
glittering perfection &
programmed to gouge out third eyes.
piss me back into the mainstream --

see?

i'm no longer offensive
when granulated...
just

add

water.
