[Archived] Highlights from My Love Life

My first high school steady
was a computer geek.
I read sci-fi novels
and corrected his college essay.
We tried bondage and anal.
I'm lucky his interest in me
wasn't confined to the cranial.

Nothing will make her lie down. Nothing will make her leave this old house.

I’m taking the opportunity to have my thoughts and poems appear in juxtaposition to those of others, in the hope of expanding the range of views available.

she shared with her memories and regrets.

If I Had a Rich Husband

You shouldn’t have to prostitute yourself and pretend to be straight/monogamous to change the world. Really, some could question the efficacy of charity for solving all the world’s problems, since it doesn’t really address the systemic issues and structural violence, etc.

It's My Baby (to the tune of "It's My Party")

It's my baby, and I'll kill it if I want to
Kill it if I want to, kill it if I want to
You would kill it too
if pregnancy was forced on you

Alternatives to and variations on the slogan “Defund the Police,” because, let’s face it, it could use some improving, or at least some explanation and elaboration

Could We At Least Get Rid Of The Neo-Nazi, Racist, Fascist, White Supremacist Police Officers? Please? Pretty Please? Is That Really So Much To Ask? People In Other Professions Who Exhibit Racist And Violent Behavior Don’t Get To Hold Onto Their Jobs. They Get Fired. Otherwise It’s A Public Relations Nightmare.

Nice Things Are Getting Ruined All The Time

Changed my password to ILLFUXYRMTHR69

And walked over to no jukebox but the one behind my

Eyes touched my head full of dye, bleating

Nice things are getting ruined all the time.

Unity is Not on My Wish List of Abstract Ideals to Strive for

Unity at what cost?

The indignity of going along to get along?

Freedom is on the top of my wish list.
But different elements come to mind.
Freedom from what? Freedom to do what?

I Love You and I Want You to Suck My Dick

I hate all your ugly, stupid, too fat, too thin, too short, too tall,
too rich, too poor, too humorless, too pathetic, too unintellectual,
too pedestrian, too suburban, too mainstream, too short-sighted,
too ignorant, too conniving, too dishonest, too two-faced,
TOO UGLY girlfriends.
