Cruz, 2016
After the convention,
the long night of red
and blue, the election,
we all lost
the right to stimulate
our genitals.
The Constitution,
Founding Fathers,
Supreme Court,
natural law,
and Clarence Thomas,
if he isn’t speaking
to Anita Hill--If
he even asks a question--
would all conclude
that we must have Prohibition,
build a wall to contain
the immigration
of our pleasures.
Speakeasy will become toucheasy.
Humbert is in the dark room,
biting cayenne fruit till
juice dribbles from his chin,
his cough a dry scrape, lost
to the lightning, Lolita, and raw
throated moonshine.
