All they know and feel is encrusted and entranced
in these avoidant burials of neighbourly curiosity
as regard the imperiled-to-abuse inner child
<p align="center">clutching the awning<br>
to avoid falling into the nightmare<br>
of heteronormativity and its</p>
petit mort, petit amor, petit vivre
<p align="right">archived in exquisite pains<br>
more attuned to horses, chains, or extinction</p>
Living as islands in a void
with learnt key performance indicators
of Leninist sacrifices in a relationship
to the Diego defending against the spoilage of freedom
bleating Le Internationale as they denigrate feminism
we hold the lines and our breaths as they scourge our breasts
I want this species to learn
that masculinity must end
I want us to accept our failure
that projection and hubris must cease
<p align="center">Fin en scene
orderlies of the accountable
poets pull cards as they are held
lines and fingers snapping
cheeks, minds, or both</p>
Modernity is measured in caliber and waste;
Humanism and literature bulwarks against the cinder-blocked
Reliquary abuses that pile up into organized religions
Here we are with the seminary of rebellion built from bitten rhymes
