Rehabilitating men with birth defects:
bomb bays where hearts should beat,
weaponized eyes, mechanical mouths,
teargas tongues, compassionless, cold-

torturers, cutthroats— scum of the swamp,
from depths so low they vaulted 25
feet over Hoover and Hitler, packs of
pedophile priests, human rights violators,
sleazy southern senators, corrupt congressmen;
took elevators up 86 floors, climbed 40 flights of
stairs, stood on step stools to suck the Devil’s
dick and be sworn in…
