		<description> And they'll come

out of blue jalopies

hard, and hoping

to score higher

than their fantasy

football team.



She won't come

willingly, but they will

take it from her in

their leather seats

ripe with

organic and

red lace.



(souls are cheapest

with a bottle of wine

and cleavage)



In the mirror she

won't see a slut -

she was a virgin once,

and only spread her legs

to anyone willing

to part;



smoked cigarettes in her

mother's closet

full of

organic and

red lace.



Eventually she'll

look into the mirror,

again,

think of when they

took it from her -



and see she's older

than she used to be.  ... more  </description>

		<description>   
  
your thoughts are like screeching monkeys
bold, loud, and completely unintelligible.

I love the rub of their soft belly fur against my face
the desperate truth of bananas in my hand, desired

But it is the fear of their teeth that stays me 
by this rocky outcropping on the edge of the grass
 
I watch them dance upon the barrel of the baobab
below the unruly tufts of branches without reason

The bright dark buckets, eyelids of  bliss, carry no knowledge  
only the warm wet primal voice of freedom

carry me quickly from this hot sun and reject my notions
i do not care who you are. I trust no one.

I watch, scarred, blind to your thoughts.
dance monkey.
dance.  ... more  </description>
