FEATURE POET
by F.N. Wright
I have hereby
& illegally deemed myself
FEATURE POET
for issue #4 of
zygote in my coffee
on behalf of all
male chauvinist pigs

as you should have noticed
by now unless you were
too fucked up to care

the only two poets
featured so far
have been females

at least the editors
are batting .500
regarding their choices

the first choice is
very well established
& the second choice
has a future in the
poetry world
if she expands her horizons

but getting back to the
male chauvinistic pig thing
of the editors I have
referred to

& we all know who
they are

back when they were
getting their diapers
changed & when the
"women's libbers"
were first making
their presence known
I had three letters
tattooed across
my chest in

BOLD & BRIGHT
RED LETTERS

MCP
which stood for
MALE CHAUVINIST PIG

Yes
my balls have always
been bigger than most

one day I began
a conversation with
two "women's libbers"

as the conversation
continued along its
not so merry way
I put my arms around
both of them

looked them each
in the eye & said

"come on and admit it
you both just want
a real man to come along
& fuck your brains out."

I confess
once the words
were uttered
I was running as fast
as my feets would
carry me

my balls aren't
that big!
