Go right ahead
and get mad at me,
lean back against
the bedroom
door, pose for me
in your panties
and bra. Excite me
like wine stains
on a white shirt. Hold
up your birth
certificate. The one
that proves you
are no longer a child
but has little
footprints stamped
across the bottom,
with a few smudges
and stains. You know
that I hate those
piddling splotches.
