I suppose a poem shouldn't require explication, so I'll just comment on the circumstance that caused its writing. At the beach on a blustery day, I watched a seagull standing on one leg, the wind ruffling its feathers, which stuck out in all directions. Eventually, the bird rested with its breast against the sand.

The boy confused
Bi_janus
for Ann
The meter is inexact
He can’t find a rhyme
In this landscape
He tries, I distract
him for a time
Why him he thinks
He, pupils dilated,
wanting you
has written the play
The boy frustrated
when he hears your cue
He must take us
to have you

At others none.Absurd dandelion.

The episode, "Random Shoes," in the first season is as close to X-Files quality as anything I've seen. If you like musical theater, find some of John Barrowman's performances. He doesn't have the greatest vocal range, but he's a more than fair performer.

If you're a fan of camp sic-fi, you should try Torchwood, especially the first two seasons. The BBC series was produced by Russell Davies, who also produced and wrote much of Queer as Folk. The main character, Captain Jack Harkness, is an omnisexual human who can't die. Sample dialogue from the episode "Meat," in which members of the Torchwood team search for humans who are butchering an alien spices and selling the meat:
Gwen: "You ever eaten alien meat?"
Jack: "Yeah."
Gwen: "What was it like?"
Jack: "Well, he seemed to enjoy it."

Thick reddish ember--
mixes your character
They resurrected budo--
but in your hand
Twenty years inactive
but tatami burned
and your mirthful
Now they tell me
is gray and ash--
of this old old passion
