Poem "for the hairy bugger's future victim"
Dublin Core
Title
Poem "for the hairy bugger's future victim"
Description
This poem reinforces ideas of hopelessness and permanence, repeating many lines and ultimately lamenting, "but you are trapped, hung in one spot / dangling over water, lost / to one world, lost in the other[.]" "Bugger" is a homophobic slang term. The poem is paired with a photo of an unnamed, professional-looking black man at a desk.
