Bodyminds of Christ
My gay white boyhood
struggled with the theological problem
of personally appreciating heterosexual superiority
sacred stories
and multiply mistranslated word-choices
of Jesus Christ
Within a Christian
monotheistic

This personal mindbody intimacy problem
may be iconic
unveiling my transparent
and vulnerable Savior's distancing

Rat-A-Tat-Tat
The typewriters tap,
with a rat-a-tat-tat,

after gashing a...

Moulin Rouge
Moulin Rouge
The greens and pinks magnetize to my eye
Like flowers abloom in a field espied,
Overwhelming creation’s invention
With beauty of grandiose dimension,
Shifting to the wind’s orchestrated movements
That winks at my soul (agaped by the performance),
To be...

Society: Class
They say that we are all equal
But we are not
We are all different people
Tied up into society’s knot
There is the upper class
Those drowning in money
Standing on the greener grass
Living in a world that is sunny
