Dear List: Apologies in advance for the misformatting which I am heir to. Stanza breaks are noted by a period.
I spent my whole life seeking it
wrecking reeking eking it
in hydra-headed phalluses
in aliases & callouses
in mamamamamamaMedusas
in mirrors & seducers.
I looked for it in boxers
foxes rockers coxmen flockers
in reprimanded randy bandsmen
in wimpy limp & pimping handsomes
in anal & banal boys.
I slept with legions
with legs like onions
reeling & dealing
peeling & stealing
then keeling & kneeling down drunk.
I made love to none
loved only one.
men amen when?
where? only
hens & hares.
But it all goes back to Daddy
Daddy I'm your caddy
I know you wanted a laddy
Sorry I wasn't a lady.
Family history
is largely hysterical mystery
this old cold sold blowed hold on me
is moldy geneology.
