Detached
The truth is
I have no real concept of intimacy
I have always been fucked
by men whom I don’t love
or men
who have paid to love me
The truth is
I have det(ached)
from love
a speed bump
on the road
to sex
I have no real concept of intimacy
I have always been fucked
by men whom I don’t love
or men
who have paid to love me
The truth is
I have det(ached)
from love
a speed bump
on the road
to sex

I notice
your gaze
fall upon
lettered scars
as you draw nearer
praying silently
PLEASE!
yanking me out of
solidarity
WHOA!
cracking open
worn spine
OW!
thumbing over
tender edges
FUCK!
violating words
with greedy eyes
NO!
upside down
greasy hands
stroking my back
STOP!
ripping off the
very wings
exposing bare covers
I BEG YOU!
dumping me
naked
on the floor
DON’T LEAVE ME!
“Not my type.”
I hear as you walk away
...

Afternoon intermission.
I didn’t care about the crappy pasta
or the man with the overly hairy arms serving it to me
I had an hour to kill before happy hour
so I ate something
and sat there
patiently waiting

Who's fault?
I'm wondering why
you NEVER call
AFTER
you
BEND me over the conference table
hammering out a wicked thrill
deep and sharp
PAINFUL
like an electric drill
not once
do you give ANY sign of hesitation
so I spread my legs
in DESPERATE resignation
the very next evening
towards a couples PRIVATE destination
you flew
with your ex
on a TWO WEEK vacation
I came to
during that PERIOD
a hefty realization
REVENGE being the soul proprietor
of my sudden motivation
...

Woman's work.
My agent tells me the man likes black fishnets.
"HURRY UP and GO buy a pair!"
Soon after, the door knocks.
~
"Do YOU have a pimp?" one asks.
"Let me take YOU to dinner." boasts another.
"I've NEVER done this before!" the third confesses.

EXcommunicate.
What’s up,” says the text.
Get the fuck off my island.
I’m ready to swim.

About last night.
He drinks at the bar
every single day
A thin, Indian man
who looks my way
His hair is a messy pepper grey
I’m very sure
he hopes I’ll ask him to pay
I take a sip of my wine
he says, “Girl, you look fine.”
The hours pass
we share a few laughs
I sit in his grasp
where he wants me to stay
every single day
A thin, Indian man
who looks my way
His hair is a messy pepper grey
I’m very sure
he hopes I’ll ask him to pay
I take a sip of my wine
he says, “Girl, you look fine.”
The hours pass
we share a few laughs
I sit in his grasp
where he wants me to stay

S N A K E
You’re a snake baby
Hissin’ in my ear
Telling me don’t cry baby
There ain’t nothin’ to fear
You’re a snake baby
That’s why you do what you do
Must be lonely
For all those who love you
You’re a snake baby
Lickin’ up all my pain
Why you leave your mark on me
You ain’t my friend
You’re a snake baby
Slitherin’ in your hole
Crawlin’ in the dark after you
Lord can’t save your soul
He’s a snake baby
Ooo just a snake baby
He ain’t mean no harm
Just a snake baby ...
Hissin’ in my ear
Telling me don’t cry baby
There ain’t nothin’ to fear
You’re a snake baby
That’s why you do what you do
Must be lonely
For all those who love you
You’re a snake baby
Lickin’ up all my pain
Why you leave your mark on me
You ain’t my friend
You’re a snake baby
Slitherin’ in your hole
Crawlin’ in the dark after you
Lord can’t save your soul
He’s a snake baby
Ooo just a snake baby
He ain’t mean no harm
Just a snake baby ...

Do not cover my mouth
as you’re fucking me.
My moans need to be heard by others.

Life philosophy.
Instead of the salad,
I got the burger and fries with Diet Coke.
..
Moments later,
my stomach ached.

Drunken understanding.
I’m always drunk in front of my keyboard.
That’s how I KNOW I’m a poet.
