OK, maybe I’m the only one out there that finds inspiration in the oddest places–Facebook, a newspaper article, a thesaurus (!), and now it seems scrolling through the wordpress reader is also a source for that odd quirk that generates a poem. As soon as I saw the title for this, I felt a poem coming on, even though I had just written two.
So…..here goes!
this one time
no need for foreplay
or even to ask
just take what you need
I’m not even there
just my body
that woman
who said you were the best lover
she ever had
and faked 100 orgasms
is right now
somewhere else
accounting for all those lies
but
will you even notice?
A disturbing news article. I find it difficult to respond – the whole situation is so warped. Your poem succeeds in capturing the absurdity of the situation.

Richard–yes, the article illustrates how insane the world is going. Thanks for commenting.
