44. mouthy boys

mouthy boys
so concerned with making their
loud voices heard and their
large mouths recognized,
mouthing to other mouthy boys
words like 'slut,' 'fuck,' and
'kelly and laura will fuck anything
                                                     in a band
                                                     with a paintbrush
                                                     with a bag of coke
                                                     with tattoos
                                                     with a dick'

and you
bless you
got so upset, so angry
infuriated, heartbroken,
because, you mouthed,
'i won't let them say that about you' and
'what the fuck do they know?' and
'they don't know what they're fucking talking about -


                                                                                  - do they?'

concern filling your eyes
disappointment shaping your mouth

you're scared,
and you want me to reassure you,
make you feel better,
you want me to say
'our sex is different' and
'our love is different' and

you want to hear me say that
i won't fuck anything with a dick

which is true because
frankly
there are far too many dicks
and pussies
in this world
then there are
hours in a day -

but you don't want to hear that.

and i don't want to tell you
what you want me to hear, because
frankly
the reason i choose to fuck you
every fucking day
is because
i thought
you were better than that -

but goddamnit if you're not
another mouthy fucking boy
some days.
