Secret Sonnet #4
What is it about you my darling sweet
That evokes such strong tenderness in me,
Combined with brute lust that makes my heart beat
Strong, fast, loud? It is an absurdity,
I'm well aware, to be so passionate
For someone whom I am quite smarter than;
Enslaved by desire intemperate
For such a silly hapless little man!
But when you spoke in the kink-tailed cat's voice
My fate was sealed - abject yours forever.
Goddam you - stealing my dignified choice
Away - I knew you would love me - never.
Oh! Why can't I know, even once, this bliss:
Every square inch of your dear flesh to kiss.
Oh yes I said it beeyatch - I am smarter than you!
Except the part where I still carry a torch for someone who doesn't like
me and who was mean to me.
