Sexual Revolt

"i came to the crowd for understanding
i found you" - nikki giovanni
we talked about the universe versus us
and tom waits lyrics and beckett's rare plays
until my head grew heavy with infatuation
a silly girl's anticipation of your own ideas
which were never to come
well, not in the brilliant orgasm flash i thought they might
but we did okay
you with your neo-tribal tattoos
me with my lopsided pink wig
and our collection of figure drawings and scars
a few things better left unsaid, yet i am tempted to divulge
like your mustache hair matted into my cunt lips
while your girlfriend's bra lay nearby on the carpet
i sang your request of "take a walk on the wild side"
your hands digging into my velvet underground
"we can't get any closer", i whispered against your neck
"i mean, what does she have that i don't?"
you told me "stop it kelly- leave her out of this."
i unfolded myself from your arms then
left that less than miraculous miracle
called "love"
so i decided to join the revolutionaries
in saying "fuck it"
moving in circles where people never love-
they simply survive
