Unexpected Carnal Impulses
<<2003-04-29 - 10:37 p.m.>>

This is draft and not even really a poem. Scribbled with a borrowed pen on the back of a blue photocopied advertisement for a bowling league. This is not a sample of my poetry. Seriously. No judgment!

so this is where
desire finds me,
built like a column I want
to crawl.
This is not a poem
but I won't be its shell
anymore.
desire squats desire stretches
desire pulls and fills
and taut and fine
and all at once and
oh
I just didn't know
and wasn't expecting.
and I don't mind.
If I were to eat now
it would be only because I want
to be using my tongue.

(This was quite unexpected. I accept guesses at circumstances. Remarkable: I may indeed have a sex drive.)
