this poem wants something that it will never have

We have team meetings in the bathroom with the overflowing toilet
out in the garden, pissing over the magnolias
My friend tells me that I’m good at having sex with men
because I never look them in the eye
I think that’s a kind way of saying
something monstrous
but I love her
anyway, just for saying it
out in the garden, pissing over the magnolias
My friend tells me that I’m good at having sex with men
because I never look them in the eye
I think that’s a kind way of saying
something monstrous
but I love her
anyway, just for saying it
