ROUGH TRADE

ROUGH TRADE

on a monday morning

ur flap of sweater looks like foreskin

or some sort of frilled lizard

unmolested by genius

at least u work hard

ur fav quote being stand for something

or fall for anything

& when u continue

saying those nasty things

i clamp my hands over my ears

like chanel #3’s earmuffs

or prince’s third eye

trying to recall

the newness of our sexual joy

but all i can conjure

passes me like a spirit

surely the look on its face

is a cry for help

 

LUCK OF THE DRAW

impressing all w/ ur satchel

u activate me like

hyacinth breathing life into apollo

i crawl up between ur legs

slowly unzip ur fly

that fateful day

encasing me in ur imagination
