                                 I Dry My Armpits for No Man

They gather in their thousands, the obedient, the passive
To stand submissively before their master
And wave their arms in ******* submission
To leather and braids and electronic erections

They gather in their thousands, the obedient, the passive
Marked with the Sign of the Capitalist Credit Card
Eager to buy their overlord’s livery
To yield themselves to his contempt for them

They gather in their thousands, the obedient, the passive -
And cease to be
A poem is itself.

— The End —
