Gender grafitti

Thirteen rights recipients “somersault,
a select form in which recorded facts are in step.”

We map the growth of hosts.
The big dog process,

I learned from the manual, layered across
“replays, pauses, and Manila.”

Crafting ticks requires surrender to the silversmiths
—a kid, split into three items,

peopled with gestures and participatory cities.
Ice caps melt on a subverted, ongoing street.

Cushions

The vine stretched and pulled in slow-
Moving rights to the fruit tree. The doll must decide

On the aunt that worked in a factory
Before entering a plastic folding screen.

The vine has long engaged with technical knowledge,
Allowing the hormone to violate skin.
Toxic anger and its children cannot be held 

Liable if a biological attachment is subsequently 
Employed by a third regime without question.
By entering the celebration, the androgyne assigns

Helical torture to our understanding of kinship, publicly
Tests the capsules of his/her disciplined climax.
