Which ever way works April 2012

 


She says she goes both ways,

but won't give up one

just to get the other.

"I need to get dick" she says,

 shocking me as she says it,

 her  hands in the air,

 rattling around in the phone static

 the way voices used

to on long distance calls

when I was a kid,

her life spread out

before me like a feast

I'm too scared to touch,

 my imagination filling in

all the blank spaces

 of this erotic paint by number piece,

 she in my head,

the vision I see across the table

from me once a week,

every Tuesday, and not the harlot

she claims when she speaks

 like this in private,

deliberate or maybe not trying to shock me,

and I am shocked to think

she talks like this to sound

more street wise that she is,

 though in truth,

she is already having been

 through the grind of the music scene

and pick up bars,

she needs what she needs

which ever way that is.
