VANITY

 

 

A young woman

is now threatening

to sue me

for writing  a poem

about getting laid

in the back seat

of a ’73 Buick LeSabre

 

I’m thinking

“You vain bitch!

What makes you

think the poem

was written about you?”

 

There were at least

a half dozen others

How’s she gonna prove

I was talking about her?

 

and what makes her think

she was that good anyway?

 

I hate that vanity

and yes, I am fully aware

that I am not all that

and likely not all that great either

 

but besides it really

wasn’t about her

 

so now it’s up

to the other 6 women

to figure out

which one gets

to sue me

 

You can be damn sure

that I’ll never

reveal which one

it was

 

I don’t make enough cash

to be able

to afford getting sued

so my mouth is sealed
