Text Box: ON FUCKING WAR

Opening the cabinet door under my sink
 in my new apartment
I view a sticker which reads “FUCK WAR.”
Now I’m thinking that I like to fuck women
and when times are spare my right hand will do--but 
I don’t want to fuck war.
I want to go down on peace, 
give head to prosperity and promise;
finger work a world where every man-woman-child 
has a full belly of hope with tongue to all languages.
A long lick from my toes to my chin
and my eyes rolling back in ecstasy—then 
the smell of my lover, 
the sound of her sleep.
