I Need a Man

I need a man
Not like just anyone needs a man
It’s a clench up and feel the pounce kind of need

When they walk by like bait, smelling so good
From mailmen to cashiers to Mennonites on their bikes

Dr. Whosit gave me some things to help me feel happy
One thing made me feel like a crackhead
The other like a slug

I just need love
I just need somebody 
Some man body beside me 
On the couch
In the car

Someone to tell my stupid things to and make the day go by 
And love me

I sit on my porch in my heart printed sleeping pants hoping someone will come by
Looking for me

Occasionally There Is a Fire That Runs Through My Veins

occasionally there is a fire that runs through my veins  
that makes me slink into my slinky pants  
and imagine the lust that would show in your eyes 
 
but I fall onto my  
solemn couch with a
million things to do
in the backyard of my mind

and I smell the tide of the washer
I stare down the dirty plates in the sink

and I see the beautiful blue sky
and me me me just me
and how it is  

I give you a deep kiss
and change the laundry
