Why Are Parsnips Confusing

Wayne Koestenbaum

the house has an itch

she told me about the disgusting ichor

Cioran or Coriolanus or Janus or tidal wave

is it rude to ask him if he's ever had a homosexual experience

nothing wrong with homosexual experiences

so why would it be rude to ask

it's like asking if he believes in God

why are parsnips confusing

stung by the end table’s nearness

the homosexual end table

like a highway with new tar

making the language fancy

when he grabbed me on the escalator

one of the longest careers in the history of cinema
