Muddy Hands



I cannot muster to hold
a cheery thought
without staining  every one.

Maybe it's best for me -
until after my hands are clean -
to put cheery thoughts aside,
so I don't spoil them with
smudgy prints of misery.

I Missed

You were so quiet.
We kissed only once.
But now I miss you.

It was the prospect
of what might....
Now you're gone.

"I Do It Anyway"


“Oh I do it anyway, even though I hate the reaction,”
she said, carelessly sipping and sloshing her wine.
“Paint my toenails and wear open-toed shoes.
  Some man with a foot fetish fixes his fat eyes,
  while I gently turn my ankle and twirl my toes,”
rolling her eyes.

“But, I do it anyway, even though I hate the reaction!”
she said, picking poppy seeds off her bread plate.
“Wear that sheer tight shirt with a seamless bra.
  Some man doesn't hide his obvious ideas,
  when my smooth breasts swell as I straighten up my spine,”
stifling her giggles.

“Yeah, I do it anyway, even though I hate the reaction,”
she said, sucking out the crumb between her teeth.
“Pull a short skirt over sleek shaven legs.
  Some man can’t talk to his wife right there,
  because I’m contracting my toned calves and tight ass,”
            shrugging her shoulders.
