i could use a little femme fire and brimstone in my life

a lady with a rough and cunning charm

who is at once victorious and defeated

with eyes for unkempt beauty and well-armed


she’d have to know at least the distinct flavors

found in music, art, writing and the world

not to sound too lofty or pretentious

i’m just looking for the right kind of girl


a girl who is a fully grown woman

is what i was meaning to say

i just want someone who is like me

kooky, crazy, thinking, cool and gay


i could use a little fire and brimstone in my life

something to get me up early

to sleep in late and stay up late

a guy-girl and a freak but not too girly


i could use a good woman

intelligent with a cultured charm

with glowing eyes for art and unkempt beauty

defeated, victorious and well-armed
