PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

She wanted to know

if I wanted to fuck her

and I said

“Yeah, I guess we could do that.”

so I can see where

we’re going from here

It’s gonna be a dirty evening

filled with dirty thoughts and deeds

and I’m not going

 to have the good taste

to let it fade in passing

without throwing down a few words

I’ll always seem

to end up exactly

where I’m not supposed to be

It can prove

to be a problem

I look for

the easy out

but none is to be seen

in these parts

I have to “go there”

something inside me

impels me to do this

in spite of consequences

It’s impossible

but it remains to be

a major character flaw

perhaps I’ll one day

be able to work it all out

but Vegas odds

show overwhelmingly

most of the bets

are going against me
