sex with Shakespeare
all the world’s a stage, & every man’s a bit player trying
to survive his own vaudeville. women too. Shakespeare
said that. or something close.
I try to play my part without those creepy masks, comedy &
drama. just me & my ugly mug. backstage, I ignore the script
& think about the things that stoke the furnace in my gut.
sex & writing are my driving passions, as if that’s a surprise to
anyone. I write about fucking, then fuck so I’ll have something
to write about. but I stay away from the whore who can’t tell
the difference between sex & rape, because every fuck is a
mean fuck to her.
I drop the female half of this tragic romance into two convenient
catalogs: the dames get the black cover, the red one goes to the
dolls, they’re much more dangerous. I don’t even have to spell it
out for ‘em, ‘cause the dames couldn’t excavate pedigree from
a dictionary & the dolls know their own names.
every doll figures she’s shady enough to run for mayor of Sin City.
she’ll get my vote, too, as long as she can take a good spanking.
when I date a dame, we hop a bus to a downbeat divebar in the
library district for schnapps & an Irish coffee chaser. it stiffens us
up for an evening of X-rated opera in the members-only room of
a porn shop, where they keep the really dirty stuff. I’ll even write
her an ode to prostitutes, she’ll be so impressed she’ll hang it on
her reading list. she’ll know I’m the cock of the walk by the way
I shanghai the Bard of Avon into my literary aspirations.
but a Doll gets the first class rock&roll. she can wear her finest
2nd-hand rose regalia, & I’ll escort her to the premier of my latest
pulp absurdity.
my sad film noir only plays in seedy flop houses just off the road
less traveled, but don’t come looking for logic, or morals, or even
a loose plot.
I don’t need Shakespeare’s fancy aesthetics, either,
as long as there is sex & violence…

JFeddeler. . .Damn! You must've been [erotically] pissed when you penned this poem. . .only wished I could have been on the receiving end when you penned it. At least tell me I was there somewhere in spirit? And there's nothing wrong with an occasional spanking;). . .xoxo, Devlin.

schnapps & an Irish coffee chaser
I have never tried that and I love Irish coffee! I love the Brut honesty of your pieces; however, I also love Shakespearean aesthetics. There I go in the middle again!

I relish the sex and violence now and then, particularly the sex, but I also get a kick out of the Bard's way with words and presentation of some extremely lurid behavior. "Stars, hide thy fires / Let not light see my black and deep desires..." He let them slip occasionally, and even today is a tough act to follow.

This is such an interesting write from you, John. There is a thread of anger throughout...and yet, also raw honesty.
to continue your train of thought, however:
"All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players"
We are merely actors playing trivial parts, Feddeler, and this you capture with impeccable perfection.

Perhaps if you were face to face with Shakespeare these would be your words to him...An underlying tone of indignation throughout...raw, and openly honest...
Amazing poetry JohnFeddler...I would expect nothing less...

This has a one-two punch.
You my dear, have your own way with words.
I'm a dame who was tickled by the words 'x- rated opera'.
Great ink sir ; )

"all the world’s a stage, & every man’s a bit player trying to survive his own vaudeville."
~Big bite of effective truth, that..
devious smiles of jealousy that you were able
to poetically pull off "ugly mug"..
"I write about fucking, then fuck so I’ll have something to write about."
~fits of nod here...funny observe, you!
Enjoyed your dolls & dames SirJ ;) take care.

Well...what is left to say? Besides the obvious. Your voice holds a bit of irritation. Maybe it's the never ending predictability of a messed up, undiagnosed personality disorder holed up inside these 'dames'. Then again, maybe I'm talking out of my ass.
Enjoyed none the less.

ur too shakespeary to nite
I am sure he will come
and settle his un-satiated plight
sex with u he might
keep tight
ghosts are no fright
they r only scary
they don't cum
they are dry
