I don’t care about your back taxes or the hole in your roof   your thighs are my favorite kind of dessert topping   my hands hurt from the roses   they are bastards    ripping your special LL Bean outerwear catalog with their name tags    I crave your beatitudes   when you exhale I see stars   oh the milky way melts on my navel   I have a series to co-write with the endangered species act    so wait for me in the backseat    our special date night    I rub the naugahyde with my taillights    I could caress  your stumps all day    lick my grammatical errors    I’ll drink your bathtub if you fill it with delicious eyebuds    all my dreams came true     when you showed up at the Jiffy Mart in an adorable ski mask    I know you didn’t mean to step on my feet    that’s ok    I have more feet    I love your verbal poetry   the way you use a nail gun    piss off the porch     I’ll give you a gangplank     polish my apple   I’ll give you a headlock    quell your phobias with a Cub Scout     I’ll give you a wallop
your affectionate lout
