Poetry In Soggy Water
My cheeks turn inside-out with the confusion-
Red
The slighted words slipping
Past
Ripples in the seventy-one percent
Water-filled planet
Out of that many particles
I choose the words that appear
To fit best
Voices speaking too far ahead of my
Sensory perception
But it is not me
Who should be cowering in fear;
In embarrassment from ignorance
Bulging, shiny men with pen
And paper
Coursing the lines printed for simpletons
With their phallicies and cuntinuations
Of one syllable words-
The most rudimentary poems
I smile:
Turn it down a tad
As you wish, darling
Yes, please turn is down
Out of my mind's ear holes
And thought holes
And electric burning wires
I pray to God
That I had never heard
That bullshit
