OpenLinkNight: an evening with a sex coach

sticker, VA Beach

he watches from a nondescript chair

close to see the action, butt

far enough away to get lost

in the moment, looking for hand placement,

erogenous zones touched, position & variation,

stimulation, flesh flush as blood course (sigh)

softENs/HARDens textures----takes

notes, so after he can coach

how to better pleasure your partner---

he wears a tweed jacket, glasses perched

on the bridge of his nose, one bare hip

visible to his left & offers---

"eat your greens, especially kale" and "exercise,

really work your core," and i am sure

he's been talking to my mom, or maybe his

said the same things growing up,

but i let him continue---

 

"put a ring on it," and i can't 

help but hear the Chipmunks singing, 

then "to swell the head," now it's arrogant politicians, 

thinking theirs' is the only way and willing

to filibuster, who must be great sex partners, 

thus all the scandals

 

my mom & presidential candidates dance

in my head, as the Chipmunks take the stage

& i am considering celibacy for the rest

of my life, when he adds "talk deep & dirty."

and maybe it's the fever talking,

because when the old lady passes 

in the aisle of the pharmacy looks back at me

blushing, i drop this month's issue of GQ

and retreat to a nondescript chair in the corner,

massage my stiff & throbbing

sinuses, swollen, so the whole left side of my face

takes on a rather Quasimodo appearance,

& quietly wait for my prescription or the police,

which ever arrives first

wondering if my wife will provide bail, 

when i explain i was reading for her benefit,

or visit me in jail, so i can show her

what i learned.

OpenLinkNight @ dVerse Poets - a poetic party for anyone that can string syllables into words, form and form-less, none of us blame-less, lest we leave our pens and walk ignorant into the world--so write, doors open 3 pm EST---it's where poetry be.

An update: The swelling in my face has reduced by 75% & fever gone, since writing this Saturday while sitting in CVS and reading this all too read article. I will blame it on the sickness---a fever write. Far as they can tell it was a bacteria infection of the sinuses.
