let’s talk about the time i let you kiss me
against that spit plastered
**** streaked
wall
against my better judgement
that kiss stained
your lips with
cherries in the snow
[actually let’s not talk about the time i let you kiss me]
i match my fingernails to my lipstick color
[because a man in the 1950s had a genius idea to sell more make up]
but i don't think you noticed
that signifier of high maintenance
[because we took the subway back to yours after the show]
as if i could live with a grown man
do you even watch law & order?
the fact that you knew pythagoras’ theorem
when i was being pushed out of the womb
at first turned me on
but after getting in [your] hot water
it scared me
how much more you knew
were you my apple?
