A Gag Reflex
Mark Barney Groenway / Mitch Harris
Vain, shame-faced
Can't reveal the very core
Duress will not
permit a naked ambition
Cursed naked proposition
Dry retch - verged on
self-flagellation
Apoplectic - nail you shut
from prying eyes
Ecstasy could not involve
a naked ambition
Squalid naked proposition
Soured - floored by such indignation
The schism is not anatomical
Nor is it residual
It's a societal ghetto
It's a societal black hole.
Surrendered
Priceless liberties expelled
Swift wrath upon the inward
explorer
Hold your gag reflex
Your gag reflex
Contradiction
Oh, promiscuous and proud
while you're prudishly on guard
Gender is a willfully caged beast
Set free, it decimates
the phobic concrete
Gender is a caged beast
