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.
