maybe that’s why it’s so wrong
it’s not until you’re grown
that you know who Shame is
really
and how it stood beside you all along
how it broke into your house
when you were 12
and watching an old movie with your dad
when Rock Hudson’s name scrolled past
and he said
‘he died from sucking other men’s willies’
Shame sat on your shoulder then
the pot-bellied imp with stubby horns
and laughed
so you laughed as well
not thinking much of it
not knowing Shame was there
later you said what your dad had told you
to...
that you know who Shame is
really
and how it stood beside you all along
how it broke into your house
when you were 12
and watching an old movie with your dad
when Rock Hudson’s name scrolled past
and he said

Non Binary
She said she wants
To be called them and they
She asked me
Mom is that ok
Yes baby girl
You can be anything
You want in this world
But I want you to understand
Today you make a choice
And this is in your hands
Some people will be confused
Some will be mean
And some may bully you
The people my age
Could have a hard time with it
I have always had
Two sons and two daughters
I may sometimes forget
I won't be mad at you, she said
So Mom, don't worry
If you get...

Venus’ Honeypots
My love, I’ve filled our bed with carnations.
Please tell me you recall?
The bunch that sat by your bedstead
the first night we made love.
I watched them as they drank the sun,
and you performed your toilet in
the tiny men’s en suite. It’s been years since
I’ve felt another woman’s touch,
my breasts against hers, so
that now the carnations
are even lovelier, knowing that you’ll
be here soon. My husband thinks I’ve
turned frigid, and takes it as a blessing.
He’s not been well since ‘93. But you
and me... for me, at least,...

No Cake For Mean People
A palate of difference exists
between conviction and oppression
---another's vanilla bean belief alone
is incapable of thwarting your ability
in make decadent chocolate dreams
manifest
Forcing someone else's hand
into catering to your affairs
punishing for lacking acceptance
of who you insist you are
is the censorship from a bully
you are supposedly a victim of
and fighting to undo
Can't have your cake
and eat it too
but you can take your business
further down the street ...

Faith From The Pew
The Lord helps those who
help themselves ... right?
The furry, black critter
with white striping down
its backside does
as it munches away at
the bowl of dry food
you put outside everyday
for the strays
---inherently knows that
Its earthly challenge
is to accept a Creator's
love will sustain it
as well as despite
passing itself off as a cat
under your eyes and nose
it is neither skunk or feline
on the inside;
and, thus there's no need
for you...

Grading On The Curve
Growing up in a household

you learn a thing or two
Everyone comes into this world
with a slate clean except for chalk
residue from the previous lesson
develops fresh beliefs or adopts
perspectives that regardless are cause
for unique experiences no more
or less valid than the neighbors'
next door to across the globe

a frontal lobe self afflicted with legions

The Cake From Hell
When the bakery owner looked at us
as if we were threatening his soul
with eternal damnation, I said
Fuck it --- let's just go to Dairy Queen!
I was just kidding of course;
we took our business elsewhere
( though we really did stop for DQ Blizzards )
but I'll never forget the look
in that poor bastard's eyes . . .
Aunt Sylvia sported a similar stigmatism
when she accepted Jesus Christ
as her lord and saviour
in a deathbed contract signing
before the ink was dry
as if we were threatening his soul
with eternal damnation, I said
Fuck it --- let's just go to Dairy Queen!

Perspectives
I
My love is unequivocal. To sin,
a manor born, and in that house we dwell,
us mortal billions. Begin
to understand, I beg. The hell
I fear is not a Middle Age dungeon.
I would not hurt you if I could.
For my eternal condition
is just as tied to origins of wood
and rock. The bleak, corrupted earth.
That your urges are of Sodom
does not mean mine are worth
a damn. The caul of man drips with venom.
The hell I fear is death without my God.
But we are still brothers, from womb to sod.

There Are No Rights In Hell
How do I broach the subject
When more truly I am divided
As I preach of the persuasion of biblical view
I understand my argument seems all one sided
And thus is my desire to seek to truly understand
Despite my inclination to cleave to what I think I know
I just wanted to see the world through the eyes of another
As I peer inside your open window
Caught somewhere between my honesty and my truth
Even emotions can lie, governed of desire to cave to preferences of temptation
If you knew the demons in my closet
You might...

There's really no substituting.
I read today
of pain and ostracization
I read today of hate, intolerance
and demagoguery
I read today of the incomprehensible
and the should be unfathomable
beautifully iced of whipped
saccharinized sweetener
Thinly disguising
layers upon layers
of pious indoctrination
and a piped veiled attempt
toward enlightenment
I read today
that the meaning of equality
is not equal to everyone
I read today that love is not love
it's only for those chosen
I read today that my opinions...

Doesn't really add up now does it?
Missing from the equation?
All other religions you are dismissing
as if yours is the only belief system that
counts or amounts to something substantial
Isn't there some Biblical scripture about vanity?
The math gets even fuzzier
as same sex marriages performed
beyond the compounds of Christianity
aren't recognized as legitimate unions
among Humanity because your God
supposedly said so
Why doesn't the respect ever go
both ways?
Other belief systems
so insignificant
so small ...
