directions for a hijacked videoplay

my hand is my blade
like a slash
over the ripeness of your mouth
the koran in my body opens
fully like an enlarged penis
or forever hungry tongue (CUT TO
the lingering close-up
of your ketchup smeared breasts
& the director yelling "cut")

then your lines
in the scheme of things
"no faith in politics
or religions run by hypocrites"
you say, & "no easy way out"
from the impenetrable morass
known as society.  The camera shows
the faces of criminals in power
during
this endless love scene
close-up

of twisted limbs in bed
our wound smolders
another reel from
the erotic holocaust

of commercial
flesh
factories
