performance art

i’m going to have a tattoo
of your face
placed right above
the slit of my beaver
as a reminder to me
not to involve myself
with dumb cunts

then i’ll let the hair grow back

at the beginning of each of my
poetry shows
i’m going to raise my skirt
lather up wet
and shave my pussy
while screaming

“I will not be suffering fools today!”

as my audience sits
transfixed and trembling

reading the words emblazoned red in flesh
above your head

no lip service
