It is quick and easy
the food I serve, it satisfies
the itch you get for grease.
Two six ounce burgers large as bazookas.
Gherkins denting the mayo,
their pert circles.
Beef tomatoes that cover your palm,
even the hand of a man like you
would struggle to contain it.
Squash between bread and meat
and take it in your mouth.
A trickle of mayo and burger juice runs
from your lip’s corners.
Dirty boy, look at you stuffing your face.
Purge your veins of their water with Fosters,
admire the hair on your body,
blow dry it and accuse me of vanity
of screwing my smile on with lip stick.
I watch from my fleshy tent,
so contained and quiet, dog
with a bone in the corner
gnawing at you. Gnawing.

MF-LGBT CAR
The new cars are shown off with lights, balloons,
and women, those models with tight curves, lines
match the cars, and men come time after time
to touch the chrome, the paint, they nearly swoon
while the women with soft voices lightly stroke
the doors, the seats, the wheel, and then the stick
until the men in high gear feel they must get in quick,
must fondle – they have tightness in their throat.
But in Saudi land, the car is a bold man
since pictures of burkhas can never be sleek.
Saudi girls may not hold a gear in their hands –
it's known they turn lesbian, or a loose freak.
When they drive their labia become untied
sending all the men into a collective cry.
