the guy next door
fancies himself
interesting
broke up with his girlfriend a few months ago
moved out on her
with no warning
like men do
when they figure talking
will only dig ‘em in
harder
he’s got a new haircut now
and I’ve seen him pushing weights
in his back yard
most nights
those things
are the ordinary parts of men's lives
when they name themselves
bachelors
‘back in the game’
he’s probably thinking
but to us
the women
well we don’t care much
what he looks like
or even about that red cock of a car he drives
like a hungry-to-fuck teenager
what we care about
apart from an occasional interest in his jawline
when our hormones are up
is that he loved hard
but left ugly
which will only get him
‘round here
bad luck
polite laughter
and closed legs
hurt us while you’re loving us
sure
but don’t hurt us
just so
you can leave
