i once saw a cartoon
depicting a baby
with one strand of hair
and one tooth
and an old man
with one strand of hair
and one tooth
the caption read
“shit.”

8.
and it has been said
bad men make good lovers
and what i say to you 
is what
would i rather be.

20.
i think about the time you
went to the hospital on dead guy ale
i think about the time you
had a shot of blackhaus and a cosmo
i think about the time you
asked me to write a poem entitled red wet dog
i think about the time you
saw me fucking one
i think about the time you
said go away
i think about the time you
said come
i think about the time you
made a bet with me about doing the splits, and i won
i think about the time you
made me cry with your beauty
i think about the time you
smoked marijuana out of a clay rose pipe
i think about the time you
said fuck me against the wall
i think about the time you
said can i have a piggyback
i think about the time you
loved me.
