The Gibbon
Ross Balcom
sex sex sex
the moral panic
flood-tide
of accusations
flood-tide
of confessions
"I dropped my pants
at the party,
played with myself
like a gibbon,
scared everyone
silly"
the gibbon's face
on every TV
hands reaching
for our privates
run, oh run
from the gibbon
sex sex sex
the moral panic
jungle shadows
shift around us
the gibbon, the gibbon
the gibbon
Poet's Notes: Accusations of sexual misconduct are flying thick and fast these days, with many celebrities being targeted. Why now? What is the meaning of this? The gibbon and I would like to know.
