CRAP BITCHES
and other poems

Gwyneth Paltrow

 

thanks for the hate mail

I thought you were Gwyneth Paltrow

it’s sick the way you keep having sex without me

 

how many sex therapists does it take to screw Israel and the US

one to hold the disconnected narwhal hater

and the other to bury his liquid cocaine

 

a 300kg, 1-year-old hippo lives 6 miles away max

and walks across the Maryland countryside

to talk to powerless people

a giraffe made fun of him because he had to

(a giraffe who’d looked at the sun too long

and was going blind)

he was wearing a large Ginsberg sweater

and therefore represented authority

he had that “I did not have sex with that woman” look

 

sex is like air

it’s not important

unless you’re disassembling churchyards
