popping popes

dedicate churches to
fast track
pro-life choices

ts our policy
they say
so kiss-in protesting
in Spain tests their tolerance
as they
rediscover the teachings
that homosexuality is an intrinsic disorder
nothing to do with the world order that
dominates and consecrates
the womb
the wounds

disturbing

its not my eyes
that are hurting
its all the spending that goes on pretending
it dares
in ways that it wouldn't if it wasn't safeguarded
against the loudest of bullets
redress
the regression
of rhymes over time

troubled waters flood
my soul
condemning condom use
the polemic
of protection
is more eclectic than the abuse
