My Three Graces
MY THREE GRACES
Agalia
arizona goddess blossom of society's elite
living your mother's dreams and wishes.
scottsdale pretty boys .
Thalia
vail heiress your wealth cultivated
from beans and canned corn
condominium queen
Euphorsyne
santa barbara debutante
daddy's money choking your freedom .
b.m.w. mentality calculated badgirl
I'm beer and generic cigarettes
not cognac and cigars
it's your world
with checkbooks balanced
paris holidays
matching bras and panties
your questions never go unanswered.
my world,
sweat stained collar
southside of chicago
worn like a tattoo
exposed in my speech
dago kid
with coarse demeanor
public schools
vagrant morals
empty pockets
yet you take me in like a stray puppy .
you name me after bronte's heathcliff
i bark poetry
scratch words of love
i howl romance
you give me
groomed pussy
airplane tickets
and dead presidents
in return for orgasms
rendered as restitution
a gift with the price tag unremoved
you make love to me in pity
i tongue your trigger in triumph
holes in my socks amuse you
tan lines and lipstick shades
your life's concerns
my existence paid for with humility
yours with credit cards never overextended
balances rising
long distance phone lines crackle
more empty promises.
