Poem: "Like Cherries Harmonizing Pussycats"

This poem fills a square on my card for the kink_bingo fest. This fest encourages people to push the limits of their comfort zone by creating erotica, pr0n, smut, and other sexy stuff in the many flavors of kinky, sensual, and otherwise exotic activities. I'm hoping to attract some new readers for my writing.

The following poem belongs to Schrodinger's Heroes, featuring an apocryphal television show supported by an imaginary fandom. It's science fiction about quantum physics and saving the world from alternate dimensions. It features a very mixed cast in terms of ethnicity and sexual orientation. This project developed with input from multiple people, and it's open for everyone to play in. You can read more about the background, the characters, and a bunch of assorted content on the menu page.

Wheelchairs on Television

Here is a very thoughtful deconstruction of the almighty fuckups in television portrayals of characters in wheelchairs.  It articulates precisely some of the things I noticed vaguely as being not quite right.

I have a hera who uses a wheelchair, Brenda in P.I.E. which you can explore via the Serial Poetry page.  She owns at least two, one for everyday, and a custom combat model with kevlar.  I just figured that she's smart, formidable, and likes to look sharp; and therefore she would've obtained equipment at or slightly beyond the cutting edge.  The cover picture beside the series description was actually part of the inspiration for the characters.  But if I had needed more detail for an art rendering, I would've done the research for it.  Same for an onscreen rendering.  I'm kind of appalled, though I suppose not surprised, that the TV people seem to skip this vital step as a general rule.

Poem: "Putting the Past on a Pedestal"

This poem was written on October 25, 2012.  It is a direct sequel to "Two Sides of the Same Coin," so you should read that first if you haven't already.  It was inspired by the thoughtful comments under that poem, and in person, as folks discussed various possible ways of displaying the token, arguing the pros and cons of each.  Special thanks to siege, catsittingstill, and my_partner_doug.  The following poem has been sponsored by technoshaman.  It belongs to The Steamsmith series, which you can explore further on the Serial Poetry page.
