XXXA Poem by Amorette DuvannesI 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.
