There once was an ugly.....
I am the scratch mark
on your last layer of paint,
the stuck-out nail
your hand snags against.
The awkward walk
of a cowboy’s gait,
the turned away face
with a glimpse of disgrace.
The hand that covers
a mouth of despair,
the pure inhibition
that lets children stare.
The freak summer wave
that makes the beach scream,
the bloated carcass
as you drink downstream.
So I sit here alone
and pour out a poem,
dressed in the way
that she gets to know...
on your last layer of paint,
the stuck-out nail
your hand snags against.
The awkward walk
of a cowboy’s gait,
the turned away face
with a glimpse of disgrace.
The hand that covers
a mouth of despair,
the pure inhibition
that lets children stare.
The freak summer wave
that makes the beach scream,
the bloated carcass
as you drink downstream.
So I sit here alone
and pour out a poem,
dressed in the way
that she gets to know...

Watching Jerry Springer
when you were fifteen,
and laughing at
another tale of
a sneaky transwoman,
who’s trapped
her hetero boyfriend.
He lashes out.
She shrinks away
in fear. You laugh
at how silly it is,
but siding with the poor boyfriend.
It’s only years later you think
that maybe she went on TV because
if she’d told him in private
he might have murdered her.
And been taken before a jury like
the one the Springer show broadcast
hooting and hollering.
You look back years...
