    Author

    Robert Philipson

    Dr. Philipson, a Nobel Laureate in Animal Husbandry, has gone on to excel in numerous fields: proponent of inter-species marriage rights, scholar of Swahili literature, and dog-walker to the stars (most notably, Betelgeuse). Dr. Philipson has sadly not had the time to cultivate a soul-connection to that one special lady but remains devoted to his mother, with whom he lives at the age of 39. His autobiography, Memoirs of a Jewish Dinge Queen, was optioned by a major Hollywood studio in 1987. Dr. Philipson has lived in the Central African Republic, Paris, and Manhattan where he taught Comparative Literature at New York University. According to his parole officer, he currently resides in Oakland, CA. Photo by: Bob Fisher

      I’ve always had a problem with introductions. To me, they don’t matter. It’s either you know me or you don’t—you get? If you don’t, the done. Simple. Kick me out of the house at fifteen—a main thing you need to know is that I am a hustler through and

      At 21, I really lacked the vision to pull off blonde hair, not to mention the bank balance to keep those roots up to scratch. Many hats were worn in those days. I have been born with an affliction that means I fall in love with most people I meet, i

      What is this I hear of sorrow and weariness,

      Anger, discontent and drooping hopes?

      Degenerate sons and daughters,

      Life is too strong for you—

      It takes life to love Life.

      Edgar Lee Masters

      Lucinda Matlock

      To Michael Hamilton,

      Jerry Stafford,

      and the countless others taken by the Plague

      The Promise   

      Romantics, please apply in search of joy

      Exhausted or expecting worlds to come

      Where love reveals that fated girl or boy

      Whose answer to desire yet is dumb.

      Elusive still, the yearnings of the heart

      Call after that sweet woman, that fine man

      Transgendered, gay, bisexual—or not

      We trawl in waters overfished and banned.

      Just $13.95 will give you voice

      A place to hang your hat on Cupid’s stand

      An infinite variety of choice

      A street address to welcome hopeful hands.

      A business springs from Hope’s unquenched desire:

      Book, song, and film are prophets of the lyre.

      Book, song, and film are profits of the liar.

      Part One

      Cox Populi   

      Not Yet  

      I have kissed a lot of frogs

      yet my Prince Charming has yet to come

      There are times when I want to give up and stop the kissing

      yet that would not be fair to him

      That would make his job twice as hard

      I’m Hispanic, 18, Iowa born and raised

      I’m going to college in the fall

      a bartender too—the money’s good

      I love to dance

      I always speak my mind

      and I’ve been told I’m a little chatty

      I’m not afraid of commitment

      yet most guys treat me as a boi

      a plaything

      toy

      Others treat the word commit as if it were a plague

      What kind of disease is that?

      to have someone to cuddle in the morning

      I want to find Mr. Right

      (I said Mr. Right, not Mr. Perfect

      I’m a realist

      and my Mr. Right, with all his flaws

      can be my Mr. Perfect)

      Yet none of the guys I meet is Mr. Right

      but Mr. Right Now

      and after the kissing’s over

      I find myself in bed

      with a frog

      The Captain Speaking 

      Welcome aboard Seduction 747

      All bottoms are automatic ticket holders

      All Republicans refused boarding privileges

      To enter the cockpit while the flight is in progress

      you must be

      ATTRACTIVE

      in my age range

      single

      6'1" or shorter

      single

      have good conversational skills

      have a life outside the airport

      did I mention single?

      Air marshals will escort idiots back to their seats

      Liars will be evicted from the cockpit

      as will tops trying to convince me to bottom

      I am the captain of this flight

      Black men, Arabs, and Persians fly first class

      Orientals will be on standby

      However… all cute men are welcome aboard

      but masculine is a must

      Queens may apply as flight attendants

      Make sure your baggage is properly stored

      and completely out of my sight

      Last but not least

      IDs without a face pic will not be considered valid

      and you will not board the plane

      If you can’t afford the two bucks to scan a pic at
