Subject: it's new poetry day! i wrote this at the leather cart...



it's that time of night again
when the sun tans beneath my shirt.
so i guess it's time for me to catch up with myself.

maybe i'm a bit anxious,
and my whole "deal" is paranoia,
what's my bag you ask?
well, all you cool cats...
i don't know... 50s slang doesn't understand me.

i keep alive the wholesome goodness tho,
almost like i wear a poodle skirt each night.
i curse at profanity
and cover eyes when the movie starts to sweat.
yet my humanitarian efforts still go unnoticed.
maybe i'll join a barbershop quartet.
that'll show em.

but enough about me...

yesterday i spoke words i thought i forgot,
suppose not tho.
i AM part elephant after all.
but anyway... here's the recap.

no formalities.
just intimate hellos.
never imagined myself in that position.
where the back of my head churned temptation.
but let's not pretend to seem interested.

so here's the weird part:
(because the rest of me is the feminized poster boy of normality)
each breath told a different story,
and all i thought was,
"damn his left tooth is pointy"
i laughed through my teeth too,
which scared us both.
yet he still smelled so damned good.

that was it.
well, that, a few half smiles,
and a careless goodbye...
which i practiced a thousand and three times before.

perhaps it wasn't a momentous succession,
but my blood did flow faster.
it's a wonder i'm still put up with.

i guess it's all about me,
until it's about you...
and then it's still about me.
go figure.
