WILL THE CIRCLE-JERK BE UNROKEN IN THE SKY LORD BY AND BY (OR GANG-BANG/ORGY PORN AS METAPHOR FOR THE MATING RITUALS OF VARIOUS AMERICAN SUB-CULTURES)

Metal,
punk,
goth,
skin,
rude boy,
rock-a-billy,
nu-jack swing,
garage
and now
“burlesque”
(I suppose).
Whatever.
It’s almost
always ten chicks
rotating their way
through ten
alpha dudes
(as per the
ritualistic observance/
biological imperative
inherent in whatever
scene-specific variation
of the whole money/
muscle/cool equation)
while another
eighty low-status
monkey boys watch
from the side-lines,
grumbling,
grousing,
gawking,
rubbing their crotches,
waiting for a shot
at the “money,”
that, in this squalid,
musky, little
coliseum
of compounded
man-pain,
will, most likely,
never
come.
