THE ***** WHISPERER
There is one thing that ought to be taught in all the colleges, Which is that people ought to be taught not to go around always making apologies. I don't mean the kind of apologies people make when they run over you or borrow five dollars or step on your feet, Because I think that is sort of sweet; No, I object to one kind of apology alone, Which is when people spend their time and yours apologizing for everything they own. You go to their house for a meal, And they apologize because the anchovies aren't caviar or the partridge is veal; They apologize privately for the crudeness of the other guests, And they apologize publicly for their wife's housekeeping or their husband's jests; If they give you a book by Dickens they apologize because it isn't by Scott, And if they take you to the theater, they apologize for the acting and the dialogue and the plot; They contain more milk of human kindness than the most capacious diary can, But if you are from out of town they apologize for everything local and if you are a foreigner they apologize for everything American. I dread these apologizers even as I am depicting them, I shudder as I think of the hours that must be spend in contradicting them, Because you are very rude if you let them emerge from an argument victorious, And when they say something of theirs is awful, it is your duty to convince them politely that it is magnificent and glorious, And what particularly bores me with them, Is that half the time you have to politely contradict them when you rudely agree with them, So I think there is one rule every host and hostess ought to keep with the comb and nail file and bicarbonate and aromatic spirits on a handy shelf, Which is don't spoil the denouement by telling the guests everything is terrible, but let them have the thrill of finding it out for themselves.

Being transgender is like this: Everyday of your life, you have always wanted a dog. For as long as you can remember-- even if you don't know to what extent-- you have wanted one. You asked your parents, Santa, the easter bunny, even the tooth fairy. Then one day you get a dead cat for your birthday. You say "This isn't a dog," But "You get what you get and don't get upset" So you carry around and care for the dead carcass. All sorts of people look at you, unable to understand what you are doing. So then one day you decide to try to make it look a bit nicer. You wash it a bit, comb what little fur it has left, cover the decrepit limbs. But then you realize the futility in doing this all the time, because you are still carrying around a dead animal. So you continue to carry it around because you have to, no matter how horrible it may be. Although you are carrying around a dead and rotting cat, you aren't a ******* cat owner; You still want a ******* dog.

Being Transgender
Up until now I’ve never seen beauty The way it's been presented before me. Your beauty is as rare as a desert rose, Covering you from the top of your head To the very end of your toes. I’ve seen how beauty illuminates from your skin And shines directly from your very heart within. I’ve seen how you looked with your big beautiful brown eyes Revealing to the world the place where love resides. It’s not every day that I see beauty like this in all its exposure. When real beauty to me has been kept in its enclosure. Baby, it’s not because of the clothes you wear, Or the way you comb you hair, It’s not by the voice you carry But by the character you carry. Your beauty is so rare. Because girl, you continue to show that you care. Your beauty becomes real When you continue to show your loving smile. And, baby, that becomes a big deal When you’re full of determination to go the extra mile. Beauty isn’t real and does not become so rare By the look of your body. Girl, that’s not why I care, To me it’s not what you are as a whole. You carry that uncommon unmatchless beauty That makes me wanna get to know you better And see very well into your soul. Sweetheart, your beauty is real because it does come from within. And I continue to believe that it’s always been. Your beauty is an exotic treasure that’s beyond compare. And that’s what makes it so precious and rare.

Real Beauty Is Rare Beauty
sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I'm not going to make it, but you laugh inside remembering all the times you've felt that way, and you walk to the bathroom, do your toilet, see that face in the mirror, oh my oh my oh my, but you comb your hair anyway, get into your street clothes, feed the cats, fetch the newspaper of horror, place it on the coffee table, kiss your wife goodbye, and then you are backing the car out into life itself, like millions of others you enter the arena once more. you are on the freeway threading through traffic now, moving both towards something and towards nothing at all as you punch the radio on and get Mozart, which is something, and you will somehow get through the slow days and the busy days and the dull days and the hateful days and the rare days, all both so delightful and so disappointing because we are all so alike and so different. you find the turn-off, drive through the most dangerous part of town, feel momentarily wonderful as Mozart works his way into your brain and slides down along your bones and out through your shoes. it's been a tough fight worth fighting as we all drive along betting on another day.

Gamblers All
her body's glazed with sugar but her soul's made of spice her grin is chaotic but it melts down the ice she howls for the moon when it births her with light she's made love with herself she's made peace with the night so why would you put her in a dress? why would you comb her curls out? why would you tell her to speak softly, when her heart commands her to shout? she was raised among wolves. she did not grow with the roses. you expect her to change. well, the wolf in her opposes. she is reckless. she is free. she is her. she is me.

Don't ask me not to worry Cause you know I always will Although you're getting bigger You are my babies still I wish I could do magic So you won't make mistakes I'd give up everything I had I'd do all that it would take If I could keep you safely Tucked inside my arms I'd build a wall around us To keep you safe from harm I'd never let a raindrop Fall upon your head I'd cup your ears so they'd not hear Any bad things that are said If I had the power To make things go my way There'd be no pain or hurt or sadness And you'd be happy everyday But as you know I don't possess The magic that it takes To take away the problems And make this world a perfect place And since I don't You have to know I'll worry about you What are they doing now? Where are they and with who? I'll worry if you'll remember The things I tried to teach Like not to talk to strangers or Turn you back when at the beach Don't forget to use your manners Brush your teeth and comb your hair Always do your best Always do what's fair Remember right from wrong And don't give in to please a friend Cause you're the one who has to deal With the trouble in the end I worry that other people Do not see the things I know The things way deep inside you The things that do not show Do they know your hearts are bigger Than the universe itself Or that you are both more giving Than any one of Santa's elves Do they know how much I love you Or the way you make me fee When I think that you are mine It's still just so unreal From the day I looked into your eyes And hugged you that first time I said I'll never let you go You always will be mine! So I'm always gonna' worry No matter how I try Cause I love you with all my heart That's the reason why!! Love you, Mommy

To Paint a Water Lily A green level of lily leaves Roofs the pond's chamber and paves The flies' furious arena: study These, the two minds of this lady. First observe the air's dragonfly That eats meat, that bullets by Or stands in space to take aim; Others as dangerous comb the hum Under the trees. There are battle-shouts And death-cries everywhere hereabouts But inaudible, so the eyes praise To see the colours of these flies Rainbow their arcs, spark, or settle Cooling like beads of molten metal Through the spectrum. Think what worse is the pond-bed's matter of course; Prehistoric bedragoned times Crawl that darkness with Latin names, Have evolved no improvements there, Jaws for heads, the set stare, Ignorant of age as of hour— Now paint the long-necked lily-flower Which, deep in both worlds, can be still As a painting, trembling hardly at all Though the dragonfly alight, Whatever horror nudge her root.

blood and guts folklore
On a summer morning, Monkey had awoken early, His eyes all sleepy, And his hair wildly curly. Swoosh, He opened the door, He had to use his mouth, Because his tail was way too sore. Slam, Monkey shut the door behind him, His friend Panda, Was called hungry, hungry Jim. Monkey was off to work, His tail dragging on the floor, He was sure to be back in time, To feed his family of four. Although monkey was guilty, He missed work twice, Monkey was confidently sure, His boss would be all nice. Monkey had walked to the glass, It said no dogs allowed, For sure he was a monkey, He walked in and proudly bowed. His boss said he had to leave, For he was not a monkey, But monkey had explained, He was very chunky. The boss escorted his out, Angry as could be, For sure he was a monkey, Can’t his work boss see? He decided to go food shopping, At the nearest grocery store, He wanted to get home quickly, So his family wouldn’t be that poor. Monkey walked to the grocery store, His feet were aching, It was 10 miles away, This was a big risk that he was taking. Monkey got there very fast, Quick as in running, It said only monkeys allowed, Wow that sign was stunning! Monkey had barged in, All the monkeys were looking at him, He was told to get out, So then he visited his old friend, Hungry, hungry Jim. When monkey had arrived, Jim had told him he was a dog, So Monkey left ashamed, In the new deep fog. Monkey had decided to go home, And Comfort his 3 young ones, He’d see his wife, Oh, he loved them all a ton. Hungry, Hungry Jim smiled, As if he was really, really bad, He decided not to eat him today, He saw him so sad. Monkey’s house Was just around the corner, It was a pretty color white, But most of the time, There was not much light. He had opened his house door, So lonely and ashamed, He was a monkey, He had claimed. Monkey flickered on the light, Nobody was there, His wife and kids left him a note, “You are a dog, we could not bear”. Monkey was so depressed now, He walked to hungry, hungry Jim’s house He had tiptoed in, And was as quiet as a mouse. Jim had caught him, And asked why he was not home, Monkey had explained, His house is just a comb. Monkey said his family had left him, Because he was a dog, They think I don’t belong, And am just a plain old hog. All of a sudden, The panda ate him whole, And the only thing that was left, Was his sad little soul.

Hungry. In the silence, of this afternoon, they arrive, ready to feed children who wait in nest high above. Their high whistle dancing, pierces the soundscape These mejiros--yellow with sharp white eyes, Comb through hibiscus bush Finding a meal Hidden within Like  parrotfish Munching through coral reef, I sit under tree listening, Abruptly The seashells to my mind Fill with shrill sounds Of mothers scolding monsters, A quickening-- Their white eyes dart like fearful squid flying through brushy undercurrents. Underneath, The small lion cat Stalks the Hungry sounds In the bush the Hungry looking for Hungry

The Hungry Looking for Hungry
When I am old, and comforted, And done with this desire, With Memory to share my bed And Peace to share my fire, I'll comb my hair in scalloped bands Beneath my laundered cap, And watch my cool and fragile hands Lie light upon my lap. And I will have a sprigged gown With lace to kiss my throat; I'll draw my curtain to the town, And hum a purring note. And I'll forget the way of tears, And rock, and stir my tea. But oh, I wish those blessed years Were further than they be!

Afternoon
How many marbles can you fit into a bowl until you say you can't count them? I do not want events layered upon events. Birthdays toppling over birthdays: a layer cake of responsibilities that aren't 'responsibilities'. That do not count. That cannot be measured or described as taxing or numerous. I am outnumbered by numberless nonsense. I am outweighed by weightless wafting pleasantries; and opportunities; and life-sustaining things; that bowl me over. My womb is a desert called Death Valley and you wish to comb it for antique glass bottles. I care not. I cannot partake in any more suggestions of what I might do with my 'free time'. But you're not feeling the tingling sensation in your gut every time you wake up and the lights don't turn on. The wheels don't work. The mechanical arms don't move like they are supposed to. Like the parts of you you're supposed to have on automatic have just given up the ghost and abandoned you. You're alone and miserable and none of it rings any bells. None of it gives out any signs. None of it counts. I'm crying because the milk spilled and there isn't any milk left anywhere in the world. We're out. We're just the land of Honey now.

The Land of Honey
The wind wants to comb my har but gets tangled in its snare. my wooly bend of kinks and bends has now got them all to stare. i didnt ask for this texture but its the only one i wish to be next to. i can braid it , blade it, grow it hide it show it , its always there. right in place , it doesnt fall into my face. my barber is the best barber he can cut  it into shapes. i can tape it fade it wear it long shave it. but it will always be my **** ***** curls black hair.

Windy Hair
Lipstick cigarettes and the empty soul of modern rock n' roll laid in ruin amongst my collection of black soul addictions and sultry benedictions. MIDI saxophones and an ex-girlfriend on the telephone directing me to find my home, to rebuild the comb, to banish the bartender and the Reverend ****** Alamo idiot stand and a neon Jesus waving newcomers into the whitewashed port town known as "Cuba North". At the Caged Gorilla, Linda, the waitress, laughs through yellowed teeth, while my bloodshot eyes crawl up her red gums. Binge'd and my brain keeps parallel with the ceiling fan while a plain clothes cop tries to give me the reprimand for nostalgic mischiefs. Handcuffed and looking for that old fiend, Freedom, while Miranda spews on the back of my skull, slides down my shoulders, dots the cement. Out the door and tourists with cameras looking for evil behind my irises, but I can assure my handshakes feel the same, I'm front pew tame, and I blend with the parade.

I saw you today Wearing your school uniform You saw me and called me I came to you You just smiled At school you said goodbye You left me again And so I waited Later you arrived But it seemed like destiny Was bound to separate us Because you went away With somebody I know It has been like that For years, and years to come You come, you go You smile Sometimes you would frown I would watch you go home You don’t even say goodbye You can’t even say Thank You But it’s alright There are still many others out there Waiting for me People like you who need me I know your name Your friend’s name Your favorite color I know what scent you wear The way you comb your hair The way you walk And talk But then I know That I need you and you need me Always crossing roads Hoping you’d call me again Hoping that one day you’d smile That one day you would know my name too Though that chance may be vague For our ways are different And you might not care at all I’m always here waiting And still I am hoping That one day you would appreciate my existence As a mere pedicab driver.

*What lies beyond the bend in the road? Behind the green pine trees, Capped with white snow?* I cannot know what lies ahead Until I reach the turn I fear the journey long though And my feet ache and burn. This road feels somehow steeper From when I walked it the last time Oh, everything is worse alone Without him by my side. He was a fearless traveller Whose words were always sweet. He said "a traveller is what I am, I've marched through cold and heat. I've swam through snow, I've run through rain, But no amount of travelling Can escape me from this pain. I long to see my loving wife, So gentle and so kind, But I fear I've left her alone Far too many times. I could not return home now Her love has long since left, And to see her with another man Would surely be my death". As that bend drew ever nearer, I knew soon we would part. So I struggled one last aching time To heal his lonely heart. I said "Why do you travel forever? Why not go home now? Her love is strong as ever, She forgives your wandering around." "There is no other man for her, There is only you. I beg you now come home. Start your life anew." He said "I am a weary traveller, I always long for home, But I cannot be still. Travelling is all I know." And though weary he was He kept walking with me. But he stopped at the bend At the edge of the trees, He said "I've seen you before, And I'll see you again. Please do not miss me, But don't forget me, Old Friend". That was many years ago, And I miss him still. That road is getting longer. I am getting ill. So I return to my empty house. Through my hair I run a comb. And I leave one light on - just in case - My weary traveller comes home

I could not return home now Her love has long since left, And to see her with another man Would surely be my death". As that bend drew ever nearer, I knew soon we would part. So I struggled one last aching time To heal his lonely heart. I said "Why do you travel forever? Why not go home now? Her love is strong as ever, She forgives your wandering around." "There is no other man for her, There is only you. I beg you now come home. Start your life anew." He said "I am a weary traveller, I always long for home, But I cannot be still. Travelling is all I know." And though weary he was He kept walking with me. But he stopped at the bend At the edge of the trees, He said "I've seen you before, And I'll see you again. Please do not miss me, But don't forget me, Old Friend". That was many years ago, And I miss him still. That road is getting longer. I am getting ill. So I return to my empty house. Through my hair I run a comb. And I leave one light on - just in case - My weary traveller comes home

The salty breeze Such a nostalgic smell As we comb the beach Looking for shells As the gulls overhead Squawk and they cry We lie in the sun Not a cloud in the sky All these unique rocks As far as can see And each of them has Their own story My hair always tussled By the breeze I walk and I smile And I look out to sea

This is only our second encounter but all hesitation is gone from your actions I walked into the lair of a merciless monster igniting a domino of reactions my cheeks flushed as I'm held by this beast that I find myself pinned underneath hot breath pours out on my neck as my ears are grazed by your teeth my heart pounds against your chest your hands roughly comb through my hair I squirm, submerged in your arms continually gasping for air your mouth desperately searching for mine I finally succumb to your kiss the problem with a fatal attractions, is deciphering what's hell and what's bliss

Fatal Attraction
On a summer morning, Monkey had awoken early, His eyes all sleepy, And his hair wildly curly. Swoosh, He opened the door, He had to use his mouth, Because his tail was way too sore. Slam, Monkey shut the door behind him, His friend Panda, Was called hungry, hungry Jim. Monkey was off to work, His tail dragging on the floor, He was sure to be back in time, To feed his family of four. Although monkey was guilty, He missed work twice, Monkey was confidently sure, His boss would be all nice. Monkey had walked to the glass, It said no dogs allowed, For sure he was a monkey, He walked in and proudly bowed. His boss said he had to leave, For he was not a monkey, But monkey had explained, He was very chunky. The boss escorted his out, Angry as could be, For sure he was a monkey, Can’t his work boss see? He decided to go food shopping, At the nearest grocery store, He wanted to get home quickly, So his family wouldn’t be that poor. Monkey walked to the grocery store, His feet were aching, It was 10 miles away, This was a big risk that he was taking. Monkey got there very fast, Quick as in running, It said only monkeys allowed, Wow that sign was stunning! Monkey had barged in, All the monkeys were looking at him, He was told to get out, So then he visited his old friend, Hungry, hungry Jim. When monkey had arrived, Jim had told him he was a dog, So Monkey left ashamed, In the new deep fog. Monkey had decided to go home, And Comfort his 3 young ones, He’d see his wife, Oh, he loved them all a ton. Hungry, Hungry Jim smiled, As if he was really, really bad, He decided not to eat him today, He saw him so sad. Monkey’s house Was just around the corner, It was a pretty color white, But most of the time, There was not much light. He had opened his house door, So lonely and ashamed, He was a monkey, He had claimed. Monkey flickered on the light, Nobody was there, His wife and kids left him a note, “You are a dog, we could not bear”. Monkey was so depressed now, He walked to hungry, hungry Jim’s house He had tiptoed in, And was as quiet as a mouse. Jim had caught him, And asked why he was not home, Monkey had explained, His house is just a comb. Monkey said his family had left him, Because he was a dog, They think I don’t belong, And am just a plain old hog. All of a sudden, The panda ate him whole, And the only thing that was left, Was his sad little soul.
