FUCK THE CONFORMITY

squares. Fuck conformity, / the fear of being weird and free

“I toss every laurel, prize, bouquet, coin, belly laughs and cries at their feet, the flames of these poet’s hearts & tongues, lick, lash, lacerate, love… saturate my pores. Every page, every poem, every phrase/line to be revisited again, again. Not only on the page, but the vibration of the words themselves enter quickens my being [what I thought I knew as] my body has risen once again to the beckon call of humaneness and freedom. A new deep wellspring bursts drenches replenishes what once was draught and doom. FUCK THE CONFORMITY. It’s been way too long. I live. I can live. Bennett/Neilson’s THE SUSPECT WE is a once in a lifetime collection.” – KIRBY, Poetry is Queer
