Politics '76

the man in the junior
blue ensemble
calls on my today
he looks at me
through Nazi checks
his hair is also
staring

a time and motion freak
he knows a rape
which he wants to refine
with me

he beats in my mouth
with his agitator
he licks me as clean
as a spin dry
washing machine

my urgent apology
to God is folly
I am aryan
I can recall no sin
except a provincial
habit of being too late
for meetings, movements etc

he now unbuttons his phrases
and rams hi foot in my door

the men give him rope
and hope hell hang
(he uses it)
he men are also afraid
