Word Wankers Wanted

 

You're still  
learning to spell  
but the buddies you hang with online
all admire your talent  
for wanking with words  
 
You're eager to swallow  
ragged ass substitutes  
for the real world  
thriving on recycled Hollywood trash
until the horny girl next door
you never grew the balls to date
finally submits to the silent treatment
and offers you a blow job on the roof
 
You'll already know  
that your words can dream or say  
anything you like
making it easy to forget  
how short life is
when fantasy and reality  
dangle by the same thread
but under pressure
your head will stay screwed
in the right place
 
So if you're certain  
the poems you prefer to write
rarely put food in mouths
and will never ever pay the rent
apply in person below--
though if you really need  
a dictionary or a kindred spirit
to jerk off your ego
better just read the next one
and use your hands  
to wipe
