Uncut

by Charlie St.Martin

Upon receiving my penis

like an Oscar given 

to the best nominated 

insane tranny 

I will host a ceremony. 


I’ll stand at the pulpit

of the operating table

surgical gown tied 

in a bow, ass out
dick still bleeding

speaking truth to power;


“I would like 

to thank my parents

for only killing me 

once
 

to thank my friends

for dying with me 

instead of without me


to thank God 

for showing us 

that even the best
and brightest

make mistakes.”


God in the front row

will be silent. Then 


the same way a priest says;

“Hate the sin 

but 

love the sinner.”


I’ll say; 


Bless the knife

but 

fuck the surgeon.”
