I guy once tried to teach me how to eat pussy
Something about making a person just slightly uncomfortable,
…sweeping them off their feet, then diving right in
and I wonder,
Does this make him a mentor?
If I had been less embarrassed
and more able to pay attention
I am sure I would be a stronger person today.
Instead my red face died in laughter,
tried in laughter to say I’m young and unready
But I did learn from him.
A giant intimidating, man among men, bar fights and sexcapades
Yet an artist, a potter
his trade, his love distanced
Had I met a man so lonely and less able to express it? Yet when he told me, how much he missed me, in embarrassed undertones but direct, my heart sank.
Sexist jokes and other forms of willful ignorance and other forms of forced disrespect to show who was in and who was not
Don’t dare compare to lonely strangers embracing, regardless of your political correctness.
Putting trust in a strangers’ purchase of “fruit punch”
that turns out to be fruit punch,
because he wants you to tag along…
somehow turns creepy back alley bars, pimps, prostitutes and drug dealers
into shared possibilities to acknowledge
all people are worthy.
… Something about making a person just slightly uncomfortable,
sweeping them off their feet, then diving right in.
