PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The first and only time

I ever went to

a porno movie house

was in Times Square

in New York City

It was after 3:00AM

and I didn’t have

enough money to drink

so I figured

I’d pass the time there

I get in

and the film shows

this pip squeaky little white guy

hitting on a tall shit brickhouse black chick

she pushes him away

and laughs him off

and he pleads with her

“Aw, come on, you do everyone else.”

And then she says okay

and then they’re fucking

up a storm

and I’m sitting there like

“Damn, even my fantasies

aren’t this pathetic.”

I didn’t know if

I was supposed to cry

or supposed to laugh

so I finished watching the scene

and left the theatre

I just shook my head

as the cold Manhattan air

struck my forehead

I rolled over to Bill’s Gyro

on 42^nd Street

to grab a gyro

I wasn’t sure

about any of this

but the gyro was good

and it,

unlike the movie,

actually made sense
