Of All Your Kisses Of all your kisses Some I forget For having rushed them In Hoxton’s drunkenness. Social lubrication A smoke and a beer Forgetting the approach Just digging in fierce. The first was wet at 15 The next accidental at 20. Two memorable there And a few escaping memory. When “Accidental at 20” […]

dickwet, yes I once knew a man named You Will Never Believe This! Who moved so fast on my body, it was sinful, made me spin! And he called me a tease When I didn’t concede to release So I decided to give him something nice to appease and treat him. I wrote him a […]

She Bends The 180 The irony here is that when the smart girl notices The man’s relationship potential is nil She may very well change over to the Dark Side still And adjust accordingly as Friends With Benefits. Fine by her – she’ll get some tail! He suggests he’s good in bed – how can […]

Live Decapitation I find it quite amazing In a live-decapitation kind of way… That he would call me a tease While promoting he was a good lay. He would talk in gentle tones in writing About energy exchanged in eyes in bedrooms But in real life he was hardly a gentleman And there was no […]

I Am A Broken Record Why would I do drugs? I have lived high in coincidence, signs & meanings conjured through another human being — addictive vibrancy! Do you not see?! The immediacy with which he connected to my deepest meanderings, thoughts and feelings: fed me. I try to live clean But after being hooked […]

Answers I’ll never forget her fakeness. How she jumped up on me When I returned from the toilet. Spun me around like a princess. Freaked out her wowness “Look! We’ve finally met!!” Her enthusiasm was incongruent. Her sentiments, how she twirled me, inauthentic. At the table on my end She talked till my fucking ears […]

An Innocent By-Stander Not One-Night Standing. I wish to retire now as a woman. Hang up my hat, my hair and my vagina. I never knew men to be so ridiculous As of late – some experiences: Why when I speak of a trip to the Caribbean Do you say things about my south and […]

These Men: Wise, Kind and Interrogist With your invitation “Do you want to fuck tonight?” A funny request. Nothing serious. But that’s exactly how I want to hear it In my future between some man marking papers Me preparing a lecture Buying baguette And taking out the garbage. I’ve always put up with men Who […]

Mine Is A Rich Blended Tapestry At Best It’s not that I don’t like rich people. It’s just that affluence on my block Is built upon insularity And muchly white folk with privilege And in retirement Or with young families and “special” houses. Yes they are friendly: I like them. But living next to the […]

A Man Of Integrity. I fell in love with a man who said his parents offered him tuition. And he turned it down, working night-crew to pay for university himself. I was a bitch. Never had anything handed. So said: “that’s dumb, take it!” “No,” he said. “You’re dumb,” I cried! To which he returned […]
