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
