Glitter Families
The same mom
who would be jailed
in our clown world
for letting her sixteen year old
date his former teacher
(only after several
serious sit downs)—
she would be venerated
with tears for her “bravery”
if she “affirmed”
his decision to get
his penis chopped off.
“We need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.”—Kafka (against the safe-space cancel culture pushed by anti-art bullies, left and right)
