What Makes Empathy So Scary Valentine

One doesn't have to be a Sigmund
to recognize the way aggression
works generally in service to
the repression of sexual fears
which fears underlie and drive
all nationalism and sports cultures
a big part of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell
these are mostly arenas in which male
and female aggression bully and intimidate
and induct their members into the Man Is
(Just Another) Animal Club
aggression is the ultimate sexy
always a turn-on and most of
the United States is still pretending
to be a teenager a high school drop-out
trying to live without feelings or thoughts.
