Antoine Dodson Doodles in Art Class
Revision #4
My portrait mugs the internet.
An overgrown meme, a bias breeder.
I’m out of bounds, they say, irregular to common taste.
Hollywood’s old Sissy back in prime time luminosity.
Sexless and two-toned like a Top Model menagerie
cut loose for time, spectacle and boneless design.
A face in bent motif, backdraft hair, intrepid teeth,
this body freefalling from a crack binge high.
Ungainly gesticulations maim my daddy,
like he’s in sync with me, too flap, too slack.
They don’t know he don’t know me
for this very portrait of me: gender bent,
this dick in crayon-wobbled lines.
Every day I happen again.
Woman-ish. Again. “Effeminate.”
My daddy’s name for me, not mine.
Paint me a face, Rembrandt. Interpret my cacophony.
