From “Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return”

 

      a quest
     to italicize
    a period does
  not need anyone’s
approval anymore
than it requires
rude comments
 about wasting time
  in the middle of our
     2nd plague they said
       look over here new toys on Mars
        looking elsewhere
             is another kind
            of looking away
            it was the same
           during the early
               years of AIDS
           just ask straight
             people my age
          how can we point at a horizon
          yet still fear death
            just relax it’s not a
             white flag out the
               window it’s my
                new panties
                I will never
               surrender
