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.”
