Poem XXIX: HEY DUDE / CHRISTIAN SODOMITIC QUAALUDE

O cross-dressing
Franciscan
Sumerian
men of Sodom

your sick and awkward parties
were
so devoid of chicks

and withal so lovingly
depicted by Chick
himself
right down to the last
Pazuzu tattoo (see fig. 1)

your architecture
was a disaster
!

Do you know what a disaster is?
when the stars come
completely unglued

and Pazuzu
from his pedestal
within a Romanesque arch
is all
'hey dude'

you're all
'pape satan pape satan aleppo'
with your Dante references and
everyone else is like 'whut?'
And that
is the sermon?
That
is a disaster exceedingly

but not for the reason
everybody thinks

the lord
