how do we undo each other?
i do up my hair,
by the end of the day
undone undone undone
i do a charade of pleasure
when complimented
that i can haul my bike
onto the rack of the bus
that happened five minutes
ago, i'm serious.

what are the politics of masturbation?
i envy the red fox that has
an entire file on its sexual
activity and where is my
goddamn file? i decide to
keep my own scientific
research of myself,
it's important.

lesbian bluebirds rob the
eggs of breeders
and make a nest twice as big
twice the parents around
to teach the kids how to
pick pink squirmies out of
the dirt, homo pink
flaming-os raise
babies under their
twiggy legs, dolphins
slip fins into each
other's slits
just for kicks

homosexuality is napping in the
shade is chewing the tics
off yr hide is slaughter in
high grasses is making tools
for masturbation out of
sticks and leaves and
dried turd trust me,
i read it in a science book.

am i animal?
yes
tho
i exile myself
from animal kingdom
thru my language
but there is hair
on my arms and i've
seen people stalk
their prey thru tupperware

do bodies long to be communal?
two girls matching
plaid skirts matching
knee socks matching
divided in bathroom stalls
surprised at the
dropping of blood
because they are
late & early
one body waits for
the other the other
rushes to catch up

do we know
the scope of
our animal capacity?
our great animal
potential?
surely we too
could mate in
middair
if we tried
hard enough
or raise kids under
our twiggy homosexual
leggies

... do we know the human yet?
