A Poem by Amorette Duvannes

I am in a zoo. I am a striped lagoon.
I am on display.
Little girl, why you weep? Little girl, 
Ears of spears, sharp, blood.
Ouch. The men come, to-ing and
Fro-ing. The men come in. 
Frolic, a kind of limp sick,
Aided spit, I feel it in my groins,
Famine. Oww. 
I see the worst, the world, the worst,
It sounds the same. I see the men, coming,
going, coming, leaving again, and
I am your S**t. I am waste.
It means I am nothing more.
It means I choose Amen.

The only man I choose.
The principal, the one, won, wonder.
Here, the vacuum of my heart.
Suckling torment, eek. 
The squalid ivory prince on his knees -- 
I choose it for him, 
I choose it well enough to know.
It means I choose the R-Men.

I am not Liberated. I am God.
I kick the tongue of the pterodactyl fear
From my lungs.
La tristesse ne vit pas ici.
Silver-tongue. I crave the carve of it, the 
Grave-diggers banter, a thrombosis you throw.
I see the sea. It is a childish thing, and it means
I am gone forever. It sees I am not the 
Unflocked nightingale you hoped.
It means I choose Our Men.
