gear shift lady in black

she motioned towards the fruit

and the strawberries

ripe in form 

skinny and bones

protruding 


if I got close 

smoke 

and pot

would swivel like

a sad chair 

empty 


I only pretend to be

this lady-

black

lace bra

black 

silk panties-

rubbing against infinities 

 

from assholes to

angels

and waiting

to be the psycho I usually 

turn into


dresses are pointless

when girls get you

wet

and you sport 

suspenders

and short hair-

dos 


dresses,

however,

make it all-night

easy-access 

when human nature gives 

into you

◄ not clean enough for the cleanly

a cinematic beauty ►
