There Was a Time

i like the way a dog/cat
licks my lips

i like the way 
nobody admits to it

the whole time
everyone grab ****

amniotic
a need for milk
 
and spinning
through it

i cleave to breasts like a
milk farmer
to profits

but i need it more
now that 
it has completely 
split

leaving me 
leaving you

and i'm selling
my wits
