Poem: A Lover's Recourse (obscene)
obscéne / obscene Stop making a big scene about your broken heart. Put it back in your pants, the soft and weepy heart. If history is a roll-call of militant men, the lover has no place in history but his heart. I am unmoved by daily pictures of the dead. A poet sings of toads and strikes straight at my heart. A porn star has nothing on me when it comes to the business of pumping the last drop from the heart. Was Sade outrageous about a turkey and a pope? No more than fucking up a surgeon with a heart. To be a psychic, a witch doctor or a cook, I have to be well versed in matters of the heart. The obscene is a view Jee finds congenital. Between a poem’s legs is found a poet’s heart.
