Politically Correct Twelve Days of Christmas

"Politically Correct Twelve Days of Christmas"*

*On the 12th day of the Euro-centrally imposed
midwinter festival, my potential-acquaintance-a
buse-survivor gave to me,

TWELVE males reclaiming their inner warrior
through ritual drumming

ELEVEN pipers piping (plus the 18-member pit
orchestra made up of members in good standing
of the Musicians Equity Union as called for in their
union contract even though they will not be asked
to play a note...)

TEN melanin-deprived testosterone-poisoned
scions of the patriarchal ruling class system leaping,

NINE persons engaged in rhythmic self-expression,

EIGHT economically disadvantaged female persons
stealing milk-products from enslaved Bovine-
Americans,

SEVEN endangered swans swimming on federally
protected wetlands,

SIX enslaved fowl-Americans producing stolen
nonhuman animal products,

FIVE golden symbols of culturally sanctioned enforced
domestic incarceration, (NOTE: after a member of the
Animal Liberation Front threatened to throw red paint
at my computer, the calling birds, French hens and
partridge have been reintroduced to their native
habitat. To avoid further animal-American enslavement,
the remaining gift package has been revised.)

FOUR hours of recorded whale songs,

THREE deconstructionist poets,

TWO Sierra Club calendars printed on recycled
processed tree carcasses.

And a Spotted Owl activist chained to an old-growth pear tree.
