Dad Was a Nazi
If sex was not such a blinding contrast
to the world of everyday sensate suffering
It would most assuredly be considered
by all of us as something of a bother
its appendage telepathies a pain in the ass
hi it's me again weaponized by logic
another bazooka-delivered bad smell
historically maladapted to the ordinary
mired in detail any single point of which
could rumble the whole of it to rubble
without force in any guise whatsoever
refracted and redacted into the joy of hypnosis
although not quite yet seen to completion
his fees raised all the right eyebrows
who else could be that amply pissed
yet not anesthetized to feral hedonism
many years possessed of a rare malady
so hideous as to be pretty much unspeakable
requiring denunciation and excommunication
which is usually the cited and excited case
according to the all the most avid counsels
louts sorry beggars and layabouts each and every
incapable of stretching thought into innovation
within which we find an angelic innocence
this is not a tragic tale but one of triumph
a bright beacon to the non-specific figments
that random inside our heads far from nimble
mein verrückter Vater working the rheostats
glazing the gaze into the limerick garden
with fewer transliteral deliveries of felicity
with far more transoptical evictions of acuity
appetites paid for in spit and carrion
determined to be not exact merely similar
to what remains unknown within us
no children or pets were harmed
in the making of this poem
index in the sky
if we die
they die
