Poetry Has AIDS
kids used to make-believe they were Blake
days spent day-dreaming I was James Baldwin
with PJ Harvey’s vagina
(I even called myself Giovanni for a season)
now we are choking on faggot slam poets
their gummy flaccid cuntlips
lip-synch
stink songs
suck sour semen
& spit back
cum talk
then shower me in brown piss
from untended foreskins
but alas
not even that arouses me
cocksuckers
spit on me but
can’t even finish me
