Think of the name of a childhood pet -
perhaps the cat that purred against
your heel or the puppy that drooled
on the floor from its mouth and eyes
or the goldfish that glanced
through the green glass
Your childhood pet's name is
the Christian name of your porn name
Now celebrate your mother's maiden name
turn her lost trail from a word
on a registry, from password prompt
to a label for famous flesh, a show-reel
for the oldest profession, a new media pusher,
the page turner for lonely boys and lying men
Your mother's maiden name is
the surname of your porn name
My porn name is Bruno Franco -
a butch, mustached and leathered
Italian bisexual porn star name
What's your porn name?
What does it say about you?
