Spewing Contempt
Spewing Contempt
Am I spewing unspeakable hate?
I maintain I am not. You conflate
And confuse in accusing.
I find targets amusing.
I don’t rend limb from limb. I deflate.

Body Shop
It’s a body I’m not having luck with—
One that age is determined to fuck with.
It is not – startling news–
Quite the body I’d choose.
But it’s clearly the body I’m stuck with.

Michelle Obama Is Absolutely Gorgeous!
The spirit of Joan Rivers just appeared
To screech well-meaning warnings in my face:
“Truth isn’t a defense here, lad! Two-tiered,
Our justice system truly has no trace
Of justice in it! No, not if you place
Your life, as I did mine, in jeopardy.
I recognized that creature as a case
Of bogus womanhood. They murdered me!”
She had a point, that ghost – and finally
I’m willing to adjust to what I know
Is false. All hail your femininity,
Michelle Obama! Look: I’m bowing low!
I’ll even praise the beauty that ain’t there.
My life, therefore, is one you ought to spare.

The Common Paradise
You want to reach the Common Paradise?
Annihilate your noble qualities!
You conquered, yes – but you were far from nice.
You want to reach the Common Paradise?
Let all your strengths be redefined as vice!
Stand not erect, but fall upon your knees!
You want to reach the Common Paradise?
Annihilate your noble qualities!

Partisan of Perversity
Of course. A lot of lying pricks and cunts—
And mostly cunts, or so it seems to me—
Rise to defend Joe Biden’s creepy stunts.
The partisans of vile perversity
Could find no better poster boy. They see
That Joe, who gropes not only full-grown dames
But also girls who’ve not known puberty,
Fully legitimates their twisted claims.
If justice kicks patoot while taking names,
It must not soil the names of Democrats.
Let pro-life Christian types go up in flames!
Let gun nuts writhe, along with MAGA hats!
This is the sort of thought that fills the brain
Of Meghan Fucking Hypocrite McCain.

Big Time
Yes, Shea is begging big time once again.
From the real poor insistently he steals.
Proud of the charlatan he’s always been—
Yes! – Shea is begging big time once again.
His sycophants are echoing amen
In response to his self-absorbed appeals.
Yes: Shea is begging big time once again!
From the real poor insistently he steals.
