I’m str8t and he’s gay
So there’s this mind-fuck

I shot my brother—
Up his nice ass & then down
His smooth greedy throat

Awfully guilty but then
We did it again

I had to console him—
Telling him it was okay
Each time we made love

BASHO'S FROG HAIKU

and Communally”

Me underwater like him
Pushing and gliding




Haiku Homerotics

HAIKU HOMOEROTICS

“Today, high poetic value placed 
upon originality remains ingrained 
in the Western literary culture. This 
fear of unknowingly writing similar 
haiku or the reluctance or disuse of 
allusion proves that the poets live 
under the “fearful legacy of the 
Romantics.” Those poets & editors 
who are constantly worried about 
“not being original or fresh”
—Chen-ou Liu, “Read It Slowly,
 Repeatedly, and Communally”
______________

I don’t feel tres plagued—
With the fearful legacy
Of the Romantics

James Kirkup opened—
Up the gay haiku for me
Japan his new home
___________________

His early English—
Poetry full of the same
Old usual guilt

But there in Japan—
So much for Anglo-Saxon
Butchy Beowulf

The way they droop down
Like his nice nutsac

Fast rushing Carbon River
Feeling the big rush

Double Trouble



DOUBLE TROUBLE 



Bruce Weber’s twin models so sexy—
Twins Juan & Cesar Hortoneda

Sultry, bored identical beauties—
They take it all so for granted

Slumming in the showers—
Nonchalantly shrugging it off

It’s to be expected—
Beauty means double-trouble

Sullen & sophisticated—
Pouty and well-endowed

There’s nothing quite like it—
Doing drag with your double  

Yawning, becoming the other—
Twin incest so very boring

It makes you wonder—
Cain & Able were twins?

To get asleep and more
To realize who I was
________

Because the people in
Holcomb, Kansas

Alienated as I was back
In the chic Big Apple

knowing yet not knowing 
what Holcomb Kansas has
in store for them…



[Perry sizes up some rope in the
Haines Hardware store, planning 
ahead of tying up the Clutters.

The rope, tape bought there
at Haines Hardware—unknowing
accessories to the crime]

Hickcock: It’ll be a simple heist.
Twenty grand in the safe. We’ll
snatch it and head for Mexico!!!

Perry: Yeah, well, we’ll see.
No job’s really easy, ya know. 



Perry: Jeez, look at that big old 
fuckin church. Built like a goddamn
old limestone French Cathedral. 

Hickcock: There’s the local Movie
Palace, the Granada Theater. All
these little fuckin towns got their
churches and movie houses. 

Perry: Yeah, they all got their
churches on one side of the
street and their dream palaces
on the other. Both of them 
in the same fuckin racket.

Hickcock: Wanna be in a movie?



In Cold Blood

IN COLD BLOOD 


[Perry and Hickcock driving through Emporia 
on the way to Holcomb and the Clutters]

Perry: What a fuckin dump…

Hickcock: Aint it though, honey?



[They drive down East Sixth Avenue past
the Plumb Mansion, the Carnegie Library,
the Civic Auditorium, then take a right on 
Commercial Street to Haines Hardware]



Hickcock: How’s this for taping them shut?



Perry: Okay, I guess. Some gloves. Rope.
