Between faith and fanaticism
the average distance is five and a half inches,
erect.
The average boner after bulldozing a home
outlasts the Pavlovian applause it begets.
Between fans and fanatics there are two syllables:
one remains transfixed on its object
the second drives verse into the sea.
But, between the viewing public and its object,
only second syllables exist.
From the bleachers around Gaza:
shotgun formation
jack off on the rubble
extra point.
Brutus is campaigning.
Foam fingers in the air,
towards God.
Two hebrew nationals,
please.
