The Prostate Poems Part 5


XXVII.
the first pains of inexperience
give way to excitement
only returning on the morrow


XXVIII.
You did it right
You did it slow
Now do it once more


XXIX.
it’s right there,
so often ignored
found with purpose
by knowing hands,
exploring hands


XXX.
blessing to the sodomites
for finding their source


XXXI.
I press
a thumbprint scanner
of biological design
the beep-beep reaction
music to my ears


XXXII.
screams ripped
from somewhere deeper
than your throat



XXXIII.
Churning makes this cream into butter
molecules excited
rearranging into new patterns

Towel count

It's endless, mindless.
Folding half, in half, in half again.
But there's something soothing
about 200 towels
fluffy and white.
Sweat.
They make you sweat
and then collect it into
the very fabric of their being.
Fresh, their static shock becomes
a lover's kiss
from the dimension of missing socks;
their warmth a hug
from kling-klang wombs.
Their ivory towers
built in Pisa
mock gravity before succumbing
to the allure of bodies in motion.

The Prostate Poems Part 4


XVIII.
the build
to contraction
travels ever outward

XIX.
there is no pull internal
except that which focuses
and obliterates

XX.
velvet-tickled tissue
constitutes the barrier wall
the most direct access
never sees the light of day

XXI.
the silent child
in adulthood bears
to distant grounds
seeds

XXII.
urethral envelopment
in advanced growth
restricts passage

XXIII.
let’s not dance around the opening
and instead delve head-first
for the sweet spot

XXIV.
accessory organ
bound in supporting fascia
unchained in bliss

XXV.
in the space before
where only after effects are known
attention draws

XXVI.
feel me, fools
for I am resplendent
in your pleasure

502

Decomposing into couches
we’ve entered a true state of vegetation,
the interlocking smoke rings a green chain hanging.
Warped by the reality of 300 years of history


whose chains won't go away;
they’re melted and reworked
into handguns and zip ties,
metal bars and handcuffs.


This green has a history of its own,
a history of demonization.
It is a mythology laced with invisible truths
with something more chronic than short term memory loss.


These victories capitalize on a luxury
ignorant of the years of tireless action behind it.
This victory has deeper satisfactions than
the slowing inhale off a freshly loaded bowl.


The voice you’re hearing is complicit, stoned in solidarity
from the comfortable privilege of collegiate vice.
Once locked in this couch by complacency,
now freed by the voices clamoring for justice.


So yes, initiative is an apt word
though motivations might be suspect
and information, it frees your mind
when all we’re ever told was meant to keep us docile.

The Prostate Poems Part 3

Prostate Poems I-XII

XIII.
just one, just one
but oh what a good one it is

XIV.
one way only?
someone just changed the sign

XV.
it's deceiving on the diagram
so pressingly close
wrapped in tissue
forgotten until activated

XVI.
one who stands before
sitting in lightless entrances for centuries
releases armies through the gate

XVII.
secretions of changing viscosity
propelled by smooth innervations
in exultant paroxysm alight
toward absolution and damnation

A Physics of Hearts (first draft)

hardened hearts break under stress,
when shear forces cut carats off those diamonds in the rough
the crystalline structures shatter under expectations unfulfilled
bend them over backwards, sideways and forwards
testing the malleability of affection, the elasticity of love
reconfigure molecular bonds to dissolve this construction
like pillars of salt in oceans of plasma
it’s protection. it’s a prison.
but this deflection only works so long as no cracks can be seen
no space for heartstring vibrations to sing out the praises
of each passing beauty with saltwater shouts
that thickened skin is hard, as it was meant to be,
and maybe hard is what’s needed right now
but sometimes strength can be found in softness
embracing stresses and enveloping tension
experiencing the full spectrum of pain and anger in order to move on
overflowing fullness stretches, resilience rebounds
growth fills the space created when things are no longer the same
hardened hearts break under stress
but hearts of flesh were not created hard

Experiment

Miracle of the Dixie cup
Granny Smith green leaves two
Sprouting out of burnt umber
A child's care manifest
