snowfall

Atrazine and estrogen
pink the ground water,
shifting boy to girl–
bull alligators growing ovaries
and double-bull frogs
croaking less
and dreaming tadpoles
instead of sperm

it’s all
fem-
i-
niz-
ation,

and

penis lengths
in men
shrink
because Rush’s
femi-
Nazi witch doctors
work below the belt,

and

have nothing
to do
with keeping pests
off corn

but
the particulate cocaine
and marijuana
floated over cities
will buzz us happy
and dickless

while stoned fish
school in currents
of Xanax

  1. Explains a lot about my shrinking pant size!
    There’s a series on Channel 4 – don’t know if you can get it across the pond – but it’s good, called Utopia – this reminded me of it.

  2. hahahaha!!! Susan. I most say, this is one of the best “Flarf” poems you’ve ever written. I really liked how you experimented with concept and word structures. Not being afraid of trying something new, and pushing boundaries to the most extreme levels of true hardcore poetry. If I had 20,000 hands – I give this poem of yours 20,000 thumbs way up! :) I would very much so like to see more on you experimenting with flarf. I love this excellent and really genius writing. :)
