DRAFT - Rock Lobster, Ode to Ignorance
this fool with his
drool baby drip spewing
bull nobody
asked for it no one
here for it (hands over ears for it)
so exhausted
tired fuming, the mediocre
mosh pit, little boys with ties
tongued to the language of men,
women know, have always known,
how to speak it, boys do not
know, the tongues of women
never learned how to learn
the world was already
theirs, left soft, for the taking
was too easy now they sit
with bibs
eating sea roaches
calling it haute cuisine,
buttered-up shellfish
on a baby bib
when half the world
is allergic
still, anaphylactic
we sit, drooling from it
waiting
for
their
desolate
epiphanies
