HOW DID YOU THINK OF THAT?
every day i wear a new body & fervently pray
via my mother tongue for a fertile mind, i am rejuvenated
by the imaginative capacity to live beyond legislated boundaries
& i am blessed with the magnanimity of baby fingers on both hands
non-judgmental naiveté enables me to freshly finger
the personal rawness of my every intimate emotion
i am clad solely in the serenity of a hurricane's eye & limited only by
the holiness of death--the only reality that seemingly never dies
powered by the vibrant blue magic of our secular/sacred music
contextualized within the expansive blackness of explosive sunlight
i am propelled by forces and feelings deep as the red velocity
of shuddering sex uncontrollable as gut clutching conjugal climax
making my penis scream the semen of me spurting a million sperm
each seeking to pierce the egg of creative experiences
