We Kill Mockingbirds
We kill mockingbirds
and quiver at tales
of mice and men
in this brave new world
an awakening occurs
as we ponder why caged birds sing
somehow this book is gay
and the bluest eyes
spy two boys kissing
Nelson found two things wrong
with a naked lunch
as Lolita and George refused
to communicate
Girls lean back everywhere
but I am curious
about internet girls
and dirty cowboys
the leer of the sensualist
is healthy, with or without
emetic qualities
if supreme court justices
are to be believed
