when its over

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?

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

    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.
