The Lady, for all her rocks | |||
and ten-buck words | |||
just a dyke in taffeta to Berkowitz, | |||
chafes on: equal something | |||
for somebody, level tracks, | |||
affirmative assholes . . . | |||
He is dim on the details. | |||
Life is complicated enough, | |||
he is thinking. Can he even | |||
find his way to the ''john''? | |||
Men now used ju-jitsu— | |||
kiss her ass just right, and | |||
she’ll swear she’s kicking yours. | |||
Refocusing the mute blonde | |||
over by the dip, it is all | |||
the same to him—the hollow | |||
that he may have had her before, | |||
or the notion that she’s had ''him''. | |||
