casting couch

Yeah Kel,
He is a character, sure
just not a main character, you know.

more of a Brad Pitt stoned on the sofa
before he made it big
or the charming bad guy
who gets it early on
straining your allegiance with
the men in white hats

pretty girl,
he is not worth the tickle
of your curl
in the back of his throat
although I am sure at the time
he might seem it

All those years
woman trail of rent free living
must have taught him a thing
or two about keeping them happy
besides in the kitchen

yeah I know you will tell me all about it
someday folded and sealed white
envelope slid under door

until then keep replaying his scenes-
the baby deserting, drug smoking
unemployed insult ass hole
who told you "no"
always with an eye out
for a nicer sofa

give up the idea
of rehabilitating
a man, Kel

love you girl friend
would be your man
if I could,

Lisa
