Show and tell (2012-2013)

  

In my head

When I talk with you

At night,

I think of that old game

Kids used to play:

“I’ll show you mine;

If you show me yours,”

And recall all those

Perverted thoughts

I got in Grammer School

When I pondered what

Nuns wore under their habits,

And in the dark

I wonder the same about you,

Will you show me

If I show you,

Will it look like I dream it will

As red from rubbing

As mine always is,

Or maybe,

I’m dreaming of that

Other game

Post Office,

And how I ached

To put my letter

In your box.
