Soft pitta, warm pitta

little slice of bread

soft pitta talks to me

inside my head


Man in a white coat

says I need a rest

Pleasant little padded room

and nice, tight vest.

I do not like this constant rain

I do not like it. Not one bit.

I do not like to sneeze and cough

The rain today can just fuck off.


The Patriarchal Genesis


The man at the door with his suit and his wife

in her best Sunday dress on a Thursday

asks if I've found his friend Jesus in life

or if Satan has got in the way.

I asked if he'd lost him, 'cause I hadn't seen

an Israelite Jew around here,

but Chesterfield has become racist and mean

to immigrants, tourists and queers.

He gave me a Watchtower, said I’ll be let in

if I recanted my lesbian style

I pointed out haircuts were also a sin:

his god preached misogynist bile.

 He went up the drive at a bit of a pace;

 her three paces back, with a scowl on her face.

David Hoyle right

"either nice or cunts"

Patriarchal Genesis


When God made Adam and his second wife

(and let us not talk about the first one

of whom he complained for she ruled his life

and became the Mother of Demons Anon)

he said they could eat anything at all

but to avoid the tastiest fruit.

And Adam said, "Sure, for I am Your thrall,"

but Eve said "Fuck that, for mine is that loot."

She smiled at the angel who just pointed out

that God was controlling as shit

chose to find Knowledge and learned about Doubt

as into the lush apple she bit.

 Thus Eve is the hero of Biblical Tales

 who chose to defy the manipulative males.

The Slingshot of Maryland


This corporate army takes money from

the poor American populace

for medical expense but give not one

jot when denying claims to save the face

of company execs. Brian Thompson

killed at New York's Hilton Midtown.

The bullets two, with one ejected by the gun

which together said 'delay,' 'deny,' 'depose;' shot down

by some bloke in a mask and jacket. Poor

Luigi Mangione had the will

to visit the Big Apple on the morn

the United Healthcare CEO was killed.

 Brian made his fortune by denying claims

 and Luigi is our David to Goliath's games.

Thy Glass House lies Vacant


Thou who in thy mother's basement lives

typing threats of death with every wakeful thought

how wouldst thou feel if all the fucks I gives

amounted to the total sum of nought?

With all thy mates around you at the match

thou cans't be seen a gobby shite by all

but alone, when thou hast none to whom attach

keepeth thy counsel to thy self and wall.

Thy threats to end the lives of all the folks

who sowest seeds of doubt in thy ideals

can ne'er be easily passed off as jokes

when thou art called to justify thy feels.

 Though who taketh pride in dissing queers

 should be aware I fucked three of thy peers.

Breaking Genetic Tradition


there were two girls born before I arrived

and I came as a surprise: tradition,

assuming Dad's genetics still applied,

meant having two in procreation mission.

First they had Elizabeth, who came with whirl

of aptitude for learning maths and English, too

and four years after her, a sister came, a girl

in love with animals whom they called Sue.

That was their lot, according to the lives

of both parents, who came from sibling pairs

as far as family history arrives

but then another kid after six years.

 And though the docs assumed me male and cis

 I should have been my cousin Julie's sis.

Calling All Hypocrites


personal development is about

'walking the walk' by which I mean to say

you need to act on all the things you shout

and leave them not for another day.

To be a Christian with all your soul

will bring forth my blessing and my respect

but to treat someone like an asshole

reveals with rotten core your soul has debt.

The Valente Brothers of jujutsu  fame

promote a personal code called seven-five-three

foremost of which is rectitude, by name

means to live with a morality.

 If you believe God condemns being gay

 then give away the money that you made today.

Outlandos d'Amour 1978


Why did poor Roxanne put on the red light?

probably the same reason that I stood

in the black of the corrugated night

on the edge of the cricket field wood.

Teens of single parents don't have the cash

to stay of top of social pressures, work

enough to pay for records and then stash

enough to set aside for circle jerk.

Roxy wanted no controlling boyfriend

to dictate what she could and couldn't do

to be your own boss has become a godsend

even if your dangerous work defines you.

 I will not give up my independence

 to just become your object of ascendence.
