My Adult Life
My adult life began
with a book poking out
of my stepmother’s bag,
a mix of smoke and legs
on its cover.
And a devilish swear
that reeled me in: Switch Bitch.
So arch and scandalous,
it must be yours, young man,
and one small theft would not be missed
between the morning’s hush and tick:
especially since I’d already tried on
my stepmother’s heels and lipstick.

As a bibliophile, I really have to read this now. RHOAD DAHL WROTE A SEX BOOK?! My life is possibly about to be complete. For reals.
This was proactive on a few levels, and I really enjoyed your thought process, and the comparatives. The little hint of shame, hiding a piece of you at that moment. Thank you for sharing a snip of your journey.
(PS Lipstick and heels are fucking fabulous and everyone should wear them.)

He wrote a couple haha. My Uncle Oswald is a comic novel about a plot to harvest great men’s sperm and sell it to aspiring mothers.

I stopped at Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and now I feel like I've missed out ... all the wasted years!
