I have a dream too.
That young gangbangers
will pull up at stoplights
and lean their bare hips out of cars
to cum on their rivals windows
--or if they're rolled down
ejaculate upon the tongues of their enemies
who then cross themselves and mutter
Amen
For thine is the kingdom, the power, the glory

I have a dream that young Pakistani men
In London suburbs
Will pack knapsacks full of lube and condoms
Proceed to the nearest Tube station
Drop their drawers
And fuck young English boys
In subway cars.
Who needs paradise in the hereafter?
The boys are ready now

I have a dream
That in the sepia stone streets
Of Jerusalem
Young Palestinian men
And Jewish boys
Will come to grin at the silliness of possession
And give freely to each other
Of their cocks and their assholes.
There's only one temple
It's always been so

The body of a friend
