a haiku for every guy i’ve ever slept with.
1.
four years in my head:
‘i’m not good enough for you’
kinda sticks with me.
2.
on an old couch, you
made me forget about him
and i was thankful.
3.
you were a freegan,
which grossed me out then, but not
enough to go home.
4.
eight hundred miles,
free nights and weekend minutes.
just wasn’t enough.
5.
your brother’s new bed
was the perfect place to fuck
in our opinion.
6.
drunken, sloppy sex.
convenient, but terrible.
our coworkers knew.
7.
you were small, but kind.
and you were in a rap crew –
of course I faked it.
8.
mentor, then lover.
you lived across the alley
from the restaurant.
9.
i ran away fast.
you were planning a tattoo
of jimmy buffett.
10.
we went to bars where
everybody knows your name.
stop drunk calling me.
11.
in your new kitchen,
you showed me your new anvil
and we drank whiskey.
12.
we were playing house.
you got sick, i took care of you.
i loved you quickly.
13.
you seem to like me,
and i want to be with you
in the same city.
