Don’t Worry

Its My Birthday

OUT

Sexual Politics

Eye have propositioned

My Estranged Husband

for sexual favours

under the table —

His refusal to accept

has left Me

rejected, neglected

alone

and punished.

 

 

Heterosexual Sex Explained:

A man wants a woman

to have orgasm(s)

because she loses control.

Men like women

to lose control.

It turns them on.

And if a man

makes a woman

have orgasm(s)

he feels empowered.

BTW:  Woman do not really care

if a man has one or not.

Message for Women & Girls:

Don’t have sex

if you are fertile

and do not want to get pregnant —

If you do get pregnant

and you are afraid to have The Child

think of Him or Her

as Your Own Creation

Your Own Empowerment:

The Bond of Mother and Child

is Sacred

Fatalism 2

Eye have gotten up

from The Wrong Side of The Bed —

what kind of difference?

What’s The Latest?

My Divorcing Husband

has allowed Me to become

The Social Outcast

Who walks My expansive beach alone

Who sleeps with

The Virginal Banana

Who reads Her Verse

dressed like a vamp

while He refuses to ask

“How did it go?”

Mother’s Warning

Don’t ever marry a man

Who’s dumb

but

Oh Mum — how nice

it would be to

have My Neck

under His Thumb

 

 

 

PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE

Tonight Eye gathered up

with My Left Finger Tips

The Remains

of the disembarkation

of “Stratospheric Universe”

from the early grass

of My Front Yard.

Now it is My Front Yard.

 

The pieces are piled densely

in an old aluminium tray

ready to be picked through

and arranged, possibly haphazardly,

into a new form of Art

Eye call “Destructionism.”

 

Someday (soon) my reconstructed creation

will sell for thousands

of Canadian Dollars

and Eye will NOT BE DEAD
