Tell me


Sil followed Don

into the bathroom.

She wiped vomit

off his chin.

I love you

Don said tears

rolling into

his beard.

Why do you

only tell me that

when you're

drunk Sil said.

Don stood

but his pants

and underwear

stayed down.

Sil looked at

his thin legs,

no ass, all

bones and cock.

Suck me

Don said.

She pushed him

away. His head

cracked the

wall tiles

and a second

later he was

gone, snoring

in the tub,

loud like

planets colliding



 


Love at first awkward introduction


Your hair was

the color of

a murder of crows.

It was love

at first

awkward introduction.

I repeated seasons

of The Simpsons

verbatim

and you were

impressed.

You said you would

marry any man

who brought you

a dog’s head

on a platter.

I said someone

get me

a poodle, a platter,

and a knife,

quickly


 

 


Dugan said



Think what

you want

but I wasn't

staring

at the

bartender's tits.

I saw

scar tissue

in her cleavage

& you know

how that

turns me

off.

What's with

the lisp?

Thank the

asshole who

punched me

in the back

of the head

& made me

bite down

on my tongue

so hard

I bit

the tip off
