thus absorbing their ripples 

SONG OF THE DAY: Bad Girl, Pt. 1

On a wandering car trip the other day, I briefly considered switching to they/them pronouns, in defiance of dumbass dudes who use “pussy” as a pejorative. But then I decided that was a lot of work to practice for myself, when I could just be antagonistic to dumbass dudes in other ways. But the idea of trying to fight guys who say “pussy” about other dudes by emphatically forcing them to use they/them with me is still intriguing. I’ve got a lot of anger, and nowhere to misdirect it.

I’m also not sure why gender is such a disturbing thing for dudes who consider themselves alpha or traditional or whatever the fuck excuse they’re using for their prejudice is now. It’s really not hard to accept trans men and trans women and gender binary or anything really. Like none of it is actually a threat to you, and if you can just get along with people and make them happier and make your life less unnecessarily dramatic, how is that ever a bad thing? People love to be mad about shit all the time. Self-described macho dudes out here melting down like a snowflake about every damn thing, left and right, hiding their tears behind mirrored sunglasses reflecting a world that doesn’t exist anymore.

frybread sonnet #020: R.I.P. MACHO MAN SAVAGE

An ode to the Macho Man Savage - Looking down
from universe's top rope (no doubt), unable
any more to double axe handle upon crown
of fakers of the real fight - these far too stable

"smart" types, unaware of in-real-life's inherent
 madness; Macho Man understood, and his strange words
are still flying elbowdrops, making transparent
truths our manmade psychic fog confuses; buzzwords

and catch phrases spoken by pretend macho men
lack the same urgency, lack full comprehension
of life's harsh struggle between dark and light, and when
you're truly alive, each moment's ruled by tension

and conflict, between heart's desires and mind's training...
There's hardly any true Macho Men remaining.
