One
Two pubic bones walk into a bar
and almost click together
proving transparency
is a drunk leaning.
Two
I crack a smile;
his too.
Three
Deviants come easy as
seduction to Milkboy Arthouse.
Brightside is just one rum coke
spilled secret from confessing.
Four
Brightside
holds his guitar like a lover.
Eventually I touch him
knowing I’m no muse.
Five
Beer and shots make me revealing.
Trust is a wet dream and I nail him
when I twist his arm like that.
I’d twist tongues even more effectively.
Six
Spines snap on sight and mend through
walking it off and other aphrodisiacs.
