Police and Community Safety Minister Jack Dempsey is considering a plan to force jailed members of gangs to wear fluoro pink prison uniforms – Courier Mail 21 October 2013
——
when I am a man, the man demanding
running the world
girls girls
I will only wear pink
wrapped in skin and flesh firstly
tender as cotton candy and dewy
as a cherry blossom
trodden down in some Yoshino park, muddied and bruised in the dirt
or ruined rose like a Nazi-branded queer
fragrant as a bubblegum-infused My Little Pony
sunrise or sunset, sickly as Strawberry Shortcake
humble as a blush
flagrant as an open vagina
