      December 2, 2013When the Focus Group Calls the Republican Candidate …Corrina Bain

      You may not know this, so let me tell you
      there is a genre of pornography
      characterized by monster cocks
      generally sculptural forms in latex
      which are puppeted around
      the lower bodies of male actors.
      There is, as you can imagine, a racial element.
      There is, as you can imagine,
      a hidden device with a bladder
      containing a glut of white viscous fluid.
      Special effect. Adapted technology.
      And never mind that the quote-unquote cocks
      can’t fit inside of anyone. The point
      is to imagine that there could be such a monolith.
      And then to make some framework
      where the false thing is proved true.
      So when you say that he seems “human”
      what I hear is the girl bent and splayed
      like folded stationary gasping into the camcorder,
      “Ooh, it’s so warm.”
      Warm is not an adjective
      I have ever heard
      describing a legitimate penis
      though it is often true.
      I am saying, the only reason
      you would mention it
      is if you were trying
      to fool someone.

      “When I was a kid, listening to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, I thought that art was going to give meaning to my pain. Then I got it stuck in reverse for several years, making pain to weight my art. So I’m trying now to un-afflict myself. Or maybe to bring the reader down with me, depending on the day.”
