Vindication
Severed genitals and flayed skin
of abusers begin to be nailed
to doors. Big stupid drunks,
disparagers, cheaters are seen
blubbering, tased, cattle-prodded
around lawns. A massive uptick
in gun purchases leads
to sexy straight girls holding
.22s to guys’ heads throughout
the act, saying what, when, and what not.
Who can’t perform is shot.
A new type of man arises.
Variously orthodox women, armed only
with teeth and nails, tear off
wigs, burqas, hot black shawls.
Even those culturally brainwashed to see
the veil as empowering discard it,
compelled by a light in their minds.
What happens next – whether war survives,
and hunting, consecrated to Diana –
I don’t know. Keep mostly to myself.
Have laundry to do, the dishes. Hope
that all the movies aren’t about feelings …
I like to watch things blow up.
