Scatology

“This is a body described through the language of surface and force, weakened through a "Single drama" of domination, inscription, and creation.”

    Dear Gallery, 
    Congrats on your delicious salary. 
    And your unlabelled sexuality ... 
     
    Watch this uncultivated space 
    At your own pace 
     
    Mouth-wateringly hypnotic: 
    Your queer narcotic 
     
    Those sugar-coated artists you represent 
    An unappetizing attempt to lament 
     
    Your watered down ego 
    Smothered by that hungry paedo 
     
    Those faeces are there to foster 
    Your self-gnawing impostor  
     
    How do I excrete you? 
    Those saccharine identities that you accrue 
     
    Your hooked consumerism: 
    That digestive coping mechanism? 
     
    For you to constipate your true identity ... 
    And to spew out your insecurity ... 
     
    My gut will never know 
    And you’ll keep snorting that processed blow  
     
    In a voracious cycle  
    Of excremental denial  
     
    You’ll savour and devour 
    Your own manure 
     
    And then defecate 
    And nauseate  
     
    Again and again 
    Again and again 
     
    Until there are no faeces to swallow 
    And you can do nothing but wallow 
     
    I relished your magic after-taste. 
    Has it all gone to waste? 
     
    No more edible mystery? 
    Don’t tell me it’s all gagged out history! 
     
    How I devoured, defecated and discharged you 
    Now to savour, excrement and spew anew  
     
The vicious cycle of my indigestion, 
Which always leads to bitter deception 
 
I quit savoring your validation 
And your appetite for consummation 
 
My infectious tapeworms will stay in your bowel 
Where they’ll mutate, procreate and scour 
 
I’m your eternally addictive fast food: 
Piquant, creamy, lewd 
 
Mouth-wateringly hypnotic: 
Your queer narcotic 
 
But I still crave you 
And want your taste anew
