Smash Patriarchy
by Alex S. Johnson aka Kandy Fontaine
I do not fit into your
gender mold
Jelly roll and I resist
your prurient
caliper and
Rapier/rapist display of
dominance cos
It ain't wit
Bitch
It's somethin'
but it ain't nothin' but
Guys with carved
pecs boasting street brawl
you can find a lot of these
dudes in gay
Porn...same ass-thetic
pros-thetic
Pitiful cos-play at
Gangsta but you
Wouldn't last a
second in my cells
Honey oh you
see from shining sea to
port on air
Build-a-Bear
the shimmer of tinfoil
crackle of the glass dick
Holding? Wanting to hold?
got something for me?
But ain't it all
rilly just the
Same
Bull
Shit
Dominance front
dominance front it's a
Put-on
like
Pasty pallid eyed
glam drag
Queens of the Stoned Rage
Doing the walk of
Shame crawling back to their
monster Kafka insect
Hives to die a
thousand
thousand
Megadeths my
darlings huffing Raid
again I See...
