America
after Alan Ginsberg

America, your slip is showing.smo

America, your roots are showing, your make-up is running.

America, you’re a hooker in the rain.

America, you’ve sold your rosy-cheeked baby to a Columbia coca farmer, an Afghan poppy planter, a Mexican black-tar cook, a Chinese banker, a Vietnamese seamstress, a Japanese game show host, a Russian mobster who used to be Communist before you, America, won the Cold War.

America, you’re a pock-marked pimp packing a 38 Special, sitting in a yellow Hummer with tinted windows, gold rims, and New Jersey plates that say “CHRIST4VR.”

America, Oh, Christ.

America, you’re a city on the hill, but your city has a crack problem, a crank and Chardonnay problem, a gambling addiction, a portfolio full of penny stocks.

America, what do you expect me to say?

America, the last whore you sent me picked my pocket, stole my iPhone, and gave me crabs.

America, do you expect me to thank you?

America, my dad cried when he saw the moth-eaten, coffee-stained veterans marching in the parade on the 4^th of July.

America, Dad ran you up his flagpole, he hung you out my bedroom window, covering our front door, tickled our front steps – you were so big, like the curtains in an opera house, and you had to be folded into a triangle, hidden from night and rain, snow and fire, loved like the Cross, if you ever loved the Cross, and I never did.

America, they don’t hate us for our freedoms.

Really. They don’t.

Shut the fuck up, America.

America, thank you for Barbara Streisand.

America, thank you for New England in October.

America, thank you for Google.

America, thank you for Smokey the Bear.

But America, who decided that could have that name, the fruit of the poisonous tree, the tree of missionaries and murder, Vespucci and viral warfare, you’re like Tina Turner – why would you want to keep that name, that reminder of horror and history?

America, you’re bringing me down.

America, I have a bridge to sell you.

America, I want an extension, a discount, a coupon, a free pass, a free lunch, a two-for-one special, a three-hour-long happy hour.

America, I’m so glad drunken Kentuckians started making bourbon, that those missionaries in California planted the grapes, that Sam Adams got a hold of the yeast, otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to forget.

America, thank you for Mark Doty.

America, who killed JonBenet Ramsay?

America, where the hell is Jimmy Hoffa?

America, who was in the grassy knoll?

America, what makes someone so inhuman that they no longer have human rights? And why are they always brown?

America, why did you kill Michael Jackson?

America, when will you pay my $7000 ER bill?

America, how old will I be when I get out of debt?

America, why does free trade cost so much?

America, why don’t people read poetry anymore?

America, when will I stop having nightmares about 9/11?

Oh, my God, America: We are all little Eichmanns.

Well, metaphorically anyway.

America, I’ve read Benedict Anderson. Have you?

America, we’re an imagined community, we need to agree on an enemy or two, and on border or three, on boundaries that make us who we are and aren’t, who we want to be, want to kill, want to destroy, want to rob, pillage, and make our bitch.

America, I was there. I smelled them, their soot and smoke – oh, yes, all the time, even in Brooklyn, even in my sleep, and I cried every day for months.

America, I carried you in my messenger bag every day for months, your cheap cotton peaking out of one of pockets, snagging on a branch or two every once in a while, saying, “Yeah, this guy is American, which he’s just now pointing out because there’s a gaping hole downtown that is spitting out smoke like a fucked up Delphic Oracle.”

America, Dick Cheney was allowed to interpret the messages. And you let him do it without having to wear the toga and getting high as a kite in a hurricane.

America, this is not the best sex I’ve ever had.

America, Hydroxicut doesn’t work.

America, Diet Coke tastes like a tire iron.

America, the comments on YouTube are proof you have failed.

America, your pimp keeps trying to tell me that I can make $150,000 a year working from home.

America, shouldn’t you apologize for the Twinkie?

America, thank you for Bruce Springsteen.

America, thank you for Lady Gaga and the Grand Canyon and the Guggenheim.

America, thank you for corn subsidies, cigar embargoes, RIAA lawsuits, unbreakable drug patents, and Wall Street bonuses larger than the budget of Liberia.

America, thank you for not arresting me for being gay.

America, I lost my keys to the Pinto.

America, why isn’t patriotism one of the seven deadly sins? I mean, besides the fact that America didn’t exist when whoever wrote Galatians wrote Galatians.

America, Eminem is the voice of my generation and it should be Dave Eggers.

America, white liberal guilt is still guilt and, like race, it matters.

America, I wish you’d worn a condom. I wish you’d used some lube before you fucked me.

America, last night I dreamt that Barack Obama was history’s greatest bait-and-switch spectacle, a Manchurian Candidate, but Manchuria wasn’t in China anymore, it was a beige conference room in an unmarked office building on K Street where they were serving Starbucks and petit vanilla scones.

America, you had me at Enola Gay.

America, you had me at “Watch what they say.”

America, you had me at 4Chan, FreeRepublic, and ads for layaway.com.

America, I need a drink.

America, I’d probably have to go to the gym more often, and to yoga, and then wax my back, if I ever wanted to be a whore like you,

like you,

like you,

America.

America, do you think I should pledge allegiance to a whore?

I mean, really.

America, you should have worn waterproof mascara.

You could have used stimulus funds.

America, you shouldn’t let your girls catch cold.

America, if they get TB or MRSA or HIV, and they have to go to the ER, it’ll be just another waste of taxpayer money.

America, we don’t take care of our own.

America, how much for a blowjob?

I’ve joined the swarm.

I posted this on their comments page. I would have emailed it to membership@hrc.org, but I haven’t given them any money since 1998.

Dear HRC,

I resigned my membership to the Human Rights Campaign in 1998, when you endorsed Al D’Amato, a vaguely pro-gay Republican with an otherwise terrible voting record, over Charles Schumer, a clearly pro-gay and then-progressive Democrat. It was a pragmatic decision, we were told; it’s more politically expedient to support helpful incumbents over potentially fantastic challengers. But it was a profoundly stupid decision, as it alienated many LGBT New Yorkers –  and many, many LGBT Americans — who had very good reasons for loathing D’Amato despite his tepid support for our identity politics. Then, as now, HRC chose to preference a political relationship with a fair-weather friend over the needs, desires, and politics of its members. After the elections, after Schumer won, an HRC volunteer called to beg forgiveness and my return to the financial fold. It was appalling; there was no indication that HRC wouldn’t do the same sort of thing  again.

And it did. It is.

Twelve years later, HRC continues to suck up to and defend people in power who do almost nothing for LGBT people other than say the right thing.  Having President Obama speak at the HRC dinner is great, and getting the hate crimes bill passed is great. But the former is just a photo op and the latter only helps us after we’ve been beaten or killed. Rhetoric only. Yes, rhetoric matters, of course. It really matters. The pro-gay rhetoric of the Clintons, Obama, Gore, Kerry, and even Cheney has had tangible effects on the lives of LGBT people. But air is tangible, too.

We need more than rhetoric. We need to be legally protected from being fired from our jobs. We need our relationships to be treated equally by the federal government. We need to be equal. But HRC’s refusal to really fight for our interests is assuring that all we get is rhetoric.

When will HRC tell their — our? — friends and allies in Congress and the White House that they will receive neither financial nor human support in their reelection campaigns unless they get DADT and ENDA voted on and passed before the midterm elections. When will HRC actually start using its supposedly enormous clout to do more than throw fabulous parties? When will it start lobbying like the unions do, like the NRA does, like the health insurance companies do, the Christian Right does?

When will my local representative Susan Davis worry that the HRC will publicly attack her for holding up the repeal of DADT? When will HRC send someone onto CNN to call out Obama for doing nothing on ENDA or DOMA or DADT besides giving speeches? When will HRC stop acting as if rhetoric is just as good as actual equality? When will HRC demand timetables, deadlines, and laws in exchange for money and support instead of giving those away for nothing but a smile and a nod?

In October, Andrew Sullivan wrote, “HRC has achieved nothing substantive for gay equality on a federal level in the twenty years I’ve been observing them.” This may sound like cranky hyperbole to the HRC, which will (and has) pointed to small and real changes in minor policies that HRC may have influenced. But Sullivan’s statement is unquestionably true to those of us who have to live outside the Beltway, who actually need laws to protect us, who don’t value handshakes and photo ops with famous people as much as they do being able to put dull  photos of their unfamous partners on their desk without fear of being fired.

Maybe if HRC actually spent its millions on lobbying and fighting and effective media campaigns instead of a pretty office building, inflated salaries, and a few lavish parties, we’d get something done.

Sincerely,

Ted Gideonse
