jessehelms

I am a Black woman

writing my way to the future

off a garbage scow knit from moral fiber

stuck together with jessehelms’

comewhere Art is a dirty word

scrawled on the wall

of Bilbo’s memorial outhouse

and obscenity is catching

even I’d like to hear you scream

ream out your pussy

with my dildo called Nicaragua

ram Grenada up your fighole

till Panama runs out of you

like Savimbi aflame.

But you prefer to do it

on the senate floor

amid a sackful of paper pricks

keeping time to a 195 million dollar

military band

safe-sex dripping from your tongue

into avid senatorial ears.

Later you’ll get yours

behind the senate toilets

where they’re waiting for you jessehelms

those white boys with their pendulous rules

bumping against the rear door of Europe

spread-eagled across the globe

their crystal balls poised over Africa

ass-up for old glory.

Your turn now jessehelms

come on its time

to lick the handwriting

off the walls.
