Pot

eight thirty,

i spin and find my center,
you talk about the weather,
he smiles, and i remember.

you stand and make me sweat.
he wants to make a bet
i laugh and then forget.

i then proceed to swim at sea;
he butterflies and follows me
you praise your god unsilently.

he grabs my leg,
or thigh,
or wrist.
you, Devil you, don't make a fist.
two more fellows on my list.


eight thirty-five.

The title & message are not so convincing to the general public, but, it's a good piece indeed.
