I have to say I do not get to fuck

Here is the original poem, bit, start, whatever we call it

2010

That Is That

If woman have record no.

Of babies in their 40s

How come I cannot have sex

Even in my 30s

Or 40s? –

I’m not going out Again –

I’m not drinking Again –

I’m reading every book in my house

And That is That.

Presume some report goaded me into this. It lacks venom, anger, it lacks me being unfucked, I would say. Not too interesting.

Maybe just move the words around and see if it can be made into something stupid.

woman in her 30s

has 40 books

in my house

and is not going

out again, she says

that is that,

and calls all 

my records

her babies

I drink again

when all i want 

to do is fuck

but my songs

and her stories

don't straddle well

I like that. X
