"The 12 Days of Christmas, Deconstructed"
On the 12th day of the Eurocentrically imposed
midwinter festival, my potential-acquaintance-
rape-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-Europeans,
+ SEVEN endangered swans swimming on protected
wetlands,
+ SIX enslaved fowl-Europeans producing stolen
nonhuman animal products,
+ FIVE golden symbols of culturally sanctioned enforced
domestic incarceration,
NOTE: after 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-European 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 an Animal Rights activist chained to an old-
growth pear tree.
