Privacy (Free verse) by Dovina

Yawning fly pecker leaking unashamed on midday peopled sidewalk Flasher, sexual harasser fellator on the pier explainer on the bus hanging out his life exposed Picture federally archived security digits socialized browser sites profiled they know his mother’s maiden name why hide? His small-town cousin had it worse every purchase known every walking tracked by neighbors post office, church, or bar Of course they knew his mother not just her maiden name they knew his every outdoor act but never saw his unzipped fly or heard him say he felt exposed

I'm getting from this that perverts ought to have more privacy, but there's no privacy for anybody. Poor perverts.

If you don't think that's what this poem's saying, you might consider (1) punctuating normally and (2) making real sentences (rather than strings of nouns and adjectives) as ways of reducing ambiguity and keeping people from making my mistake. Personally, I think that's an ace thing to write poetry about, and I'm glad to see you taking on more complicated subjects.
