Oh little black dress at the back of the closet,
who will crush you now against his chest?
—Katha Pollitt, "Lot's Wife"

Mine had, as they do, a short skirt

that showed my legs to advantage
as if I was marketing myself

to lonely men, which I was,
I guess, wanting, as I did, for someone

to love me.

Or, I suppose, for someone to want
to fuck me, anyway.

Kind of the same thing, at times.
I mean, you can sit

in your apartment and listen
to country love songs and the slam

of your neighbor's bed against the wall
like a metronome

only so long before
you put that dress on and head out to bars

to find guys you won't want to know
the following morning.

Or, even after, ever.

This was never about the fuck

But the loneliness that comes from well being alone

seeking a body for sex because that’s more than lying there

alone suffocating in your own thoughts.

You captured it .

Ignore the trolls.

A good fuck from a homeless person

is better than getting fingered on the Greyhound bus by a guy dressed as Santa Clause

I only fuck...

I only fuck women I think I could marry. Of course, no one knows if things will work for any couple. To just fuck a woman because you can is not fair to all parties involved. I'm sure you deserve better than you've gotten in the past.
