Let's workshop this poem about the hypocrisy of those who venerate risk-taking trailblazers and yet scoff at a porn star’s mission to set a creampie record with the help of good men in the community
Mass Man’s Line Drawing
Celebrants of limit pushers
(of wingsuit fliers, K2 climbers)
sneered at the starlet’s goal
to break the record
for free-to-public creampies shot
in either hole over a 9-to-5 stint—
yes, even with its power
to kumbaya sworn enemies:
Muslim and Jew, Blood and Crip.
“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)
