MICHAEL MARROTTI

MICHAEL MARROTTI

MOTHER

Perspiration
accompanied
my arrival
to the house
of discord
disorders
and disbelief

Clammy hands
are incapable
of opening
stubborn doors

I knocked
three times
one for each
personality disorder
that waits
fermenting
like cheap vodka

Stereotypical behavior
by the one who
never made it to
the twelfth step

After
the third glass
of hundred proof
came malicious
comments
that would disrupt
the most content
of smiles

I left
the same way
I came
trying to retain
what was before
this thirteenth hour




FATHER

A bleached out
black flag
the food stamp king
has got himself
a credit card

A straight trip
to the system
the door only
swings one way
enter now
but do it meekly
embrace
with a smile
even when it hurts

The Vagina
reigns supreme
rebellion is
overrated
her body
is a sermon
he now has a belief
I detest God
for not killing
the queen

Empty pockets
rags to riches
is it the power
of pussy
or the power
of money

The man here
before me
is a stranger
though we share
the same last name
it's like gazing
into a broken mirror
we have nothing
in common

Some would speak
of evolution
whereas I would
denounce the source
for taking away
the only thing
that blew air
into my lungs

Produced this
contemptuous heart
that beats
this caustic blood

Gave me a name
then renounced
his heritage
to appease
the other side
of this invitation
for doors that were
never opened
and should forever
remain that way





DEATH TO THE GEMINI

Her place
in the sun
is lost in
the shadows

Razor blades
speak clearly
when words
won't suffice

Stuck in a
nightmare
dreams of
America
surrounded
by strangers
death to the
Gemini

All she holds
sacred is a
curse to us all

The perception
of a moron
will never
acquaint
the light

She's exactly
the same as
what she
vehemently
hates

Like mother
like daughter
the only
difference
is the mother
has a brain
