putting a lamp in a cabinet,
     fire in a basket, seed
in your hand, then fingering into

can’t stand cunts, and think of another
     man’s junk whenever you

parts smile only slightly, terrified
     almost entirely of
his life’s tragicomedy, turning
     into a fantasy
tricky splinters of disinterest
     in those rockstarlets with
their strap-on guitars and their leather
     panties, making of these
shitty situations drops of pearls

     the blandness of their own
bored, boring, and impoverished minds,
     the living of a lie
no more than vicarious birthing,
     a cock’s growing inside
another person a version blind
     readers riot over.
