Jayne Mansfield 9/11


Her skin was celluloid golden
Lips an almost disembodied red
Hair a blinding silver

Big white bosoms
Beautiful throat
Nobody notices that

She helps us forget

The two jumbo jets
Busting out of her blouse
Taking down buildings

The Twin Phalluses 
Of capitalism

Or was Manhattan her body
And Jayne supine
Staring at the sky we thought ours

And the planes phallic
Frustrated last hard ons
Of oppressive patriarchy

Jayne and Marilyn
We prefer them dead
Auto decapitated
Slumbering into suicide

Un-aging
Two dimensional
Silent

Long as Jayne kept her head
And after
We sucked her tits
And called them America

We sucked the biggest tits in the world
For two generations
Now they won't even show us the nipple

The tenth anniversary of 9/11 was it

We've moved on
Or slid backwards
Or fell down
The rabbit hole of patriotism

The evil beard we blamed
Is finally dead
Now we're free to hate each other
Again
