Ode to Beautiful Men
Who smiled across the street only to be caught
Stoned in between the river
Of pot and endless love
Who stepped on doorways of corporate and industrial
Growth capital capitalism capitalisation growing in her master’s pants
Who stripped naked in wildfire and jumped with obscene lines
Trials and homosexuality
Who howled howled howled pleading officer’s belts for another
Bud
Who beaten at 5 raped at 7 stolen at 15 alcoholic at 21
And saviour at 27
Who tread the path of Ginsberg stepping on thorns
Of obscenity trials with songs of cock and endless balls
Who climb on women with a screwdriver looking for the hinges
Waiting to heal
Who covered in Bangalore loved in Delhi swam in Mumbai and
Fixed in Goa
Who loved other men to piss off an angry god to piss off the universe
As the shit hit the fan
Who beaten bruised battered breaking bones to belittle black bars
Of prison in party pants
Who drank themselves silly on the streets of Bangalore watching crazies
As crazies watched them
Who cried in America bolted from Europe broke Australia back to Asia
With anti-capitalist haze in their eyes
Who lived loved learned longed annihilated their own realities for a drop
Of ink
Who met Allen Ginsberg in an angry heaven and pled insanity
