My First Poem. Age 41.



I fuck the pool
lap by lap
strange men entering
and leaving
one after the other
I out lap them all

I fuck the sheets
crease by crease
caressed by each wrinkle
no man enters
or leaves
I iron out time

I fuck the piano
note by note

I fuck the poem
phrase by phrase
I go on till I'm numb
limb by limb
no thoughts entering
no thoughts leaving
exhausted
trembling

I fuck my life
over and over
