Sex and Murder Magazine

By Joseph M. Gant

I am the anti-ISM.
come blow me with your rhetoric—
your propaganda plays on me
like badly directed porn;
my dick is hard and I’m not sure why,
so put your mouth where your bullshit is
and swallow.

I need relief from what you’ve stirred:
the peace of mind and sleep I’d chased.

I won’t be bothered by the left,
the right,
the wrong,
the plastic middle,
manufactured truths like smut I
can’t make myself to entertain.

but yet I’m up, and though not listening,
feel your words play shadow-box upon my ears.

so blow me with your rhetoric.
suck this taunt and righteous dick of all its indignation.

I am the anti-ISM,
my only stance
is strong pro-ASM.
