The Symptoms of Nigeria's Governing Arms
Executive- My powers are absolute,
thus I am totalitarian.
The legislature and judiciary
are each subservient to my whims.
I pass my bills with attendant
compliance, and interpret my own
terms as the law.
I shut the doors of compassion,
I am very deeply elusive.
I give no room at all to dissent.
I get bloated with the treasures of the nation.

scarring
I show my scars so that others know they can heal.”
―Rhachelle Nicol
scared to be scarred
where pride has starred,
my bosom its incubator;
only to be lonely,
should you disown me,
husks left alone for later.
mock me or make me;
whose life is at stake? gee,
don’t make me find...

My Big Three
The passage of time lends itself to reflection
and while I never sought perfection
I can say some decisions regarding voting preferences
were just a consideration of all the alternatives
Then there were those votes cast at that point
while not designed to blindly anoint
do say yes these values cut across any one moment in time
and suggest a person whom I felt was a change lasting change agent
So while my vote for Jesse Jackson was a message about
getting beyond capitalism on steroids and the murder throughout
likewise the...

List #2: Ways to Suck
1. Text while driving, even though doing so claims the lives of over 3,000 Americans a year who are just trying to get to work or home to family. Shrug it off. Everybody does it.
2. Drink all of your water from single-use plastic bottles, even though a billion end up in the ocean every year, and fish try to mate with them.* Shrug it off. Everybody does it.
3. Leave your single-use plastic water bottles on the ground, in the park, wherever. No one is watching, so it doesn't matter. Integrity is spelled i-n-t. Never mind. Shrug it off. Everyone does it.
4. Pose...

Last Stand
Rules

Rules
are just the temporary guidelines spoken
to casually keep everyone under thumb
Can't have everyone running around
being free to be who they are you know
It's just too dangerous without REGULATION
And RELIGION
Better penn the people ...

The True Two Party System
I've been to Greece
England
France
Even Iran
With my friend back in ten
I remember thinking
What the fucks up with American men
Ive had more problems when
I go out
It's almost a fight
Ive calmed with years
But face the same spite
You would think I feel unsafe cause of the men
No
Most
It's the hag faced, youngling, or bitter women
They hit home
Almost every time I'm out
Last time at five guys
An old lady staring with hate as she stuffed mouth
But it's always like...

NO WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE
Hi I just want to clear
something up for you people.
And I know it's might hurt some feelings
But I don't care people these days
Are so ultra sensitive that
everything offensive them
They can't even handle the truth
That's how sensitive they are.
So,
I'm not a birthing person
I'm not a menstruating person
I'm not a chest feeder, I'm not a costume
I'm not a character
And I surely can't be duplicated in 365 days
Makeup doesn't define me
And neither does my clothes
And for the love of all things good ...
something up for you people.
And I know it's might hurt some feelings
But I don't care people these days
Are so ultra sensitive that
everything offensive them
They can't even handle the truth
That's how sensitive they are.
So,
I'm not a birthing person
I'm not a menstruating person
I'm not a chest feeder, I'm not a costume
I'm not a character
And I surely can't be duplicated in 365 days
Makeup doesn't define me
And neither does my clothes
And for the love of all things good ...

Opinions
Like the comfort of soft, delicate, moss,
By 2026, I plan to have at least thirteen small tattoos across
My arms, legs, hips, foot, two across the edges of my ears, one on my lower back, and one over my heart,
Each one a testament so strong, they're permanent, each part,
Each one in a catalog of each difficult overcoming or happy events/people in life,
That bring me joy or previously brought me strife,
I want several facial and ear piercings, for beautiful filigree and goth jewelry,
As well as permanent ear elfing/pointing surgery,
These all fit...

Selachophilia
from 2014
Aye!
Let them come...
those rude & angry points
of misplaced palaver,
let their tongue stones conjoin
to appreciate teeth.
(I only wish to love & die with the sea,
to garden in my coat shagreen.)
Subconscious breeze, blackened under
the blue-grey bullets, like a shark
of words with a silken pirate...
an eye on the coast, in the crabgrass,
a salt-licked high on the skin of a mountain:
a...

Isn't That What You Wanted?
Why do y'all wish your children to never be intimate?
Or at least not sleep around, and have only one mate?
Y'all get so mad, when you talk to or hear of people
Who have no sexual desire, or even want to sleep with people.
Why do you not want your kids to do that,
But when they come out as asexual, you can't have that?
You want grandchildren so badly you want to force the issue?
So mush so, that for your eyes, you reach for a tissue?
Because you see this as a human glitch?
Or do you want them to have an un-scratchable itch,
That you can attack...

Y'all get so mad, when you talk to or hear of people

You want grandchildren so badly you want to force the issue?
So mush so, that for your eyes, you reach for a tissue?
Because you see this as a human glitch?
Or do you want them to have an un-scratchable itch,
That you can attack...
