if she could

frustration

************

she'd make love if she knew

if she could

if she would

when her life seems to spiral down

mental capacities limited more and more

she sips a little 80 proof

packs another bowl and waits for

life

to

BEGUN

listens to music that reminds her of beautiful boys

that have long gone

moved on

beautiful boys they dance and sing play music together

in her dreams all of them

together smiling faces

cheating messes

probation

with some hesitation

she'd make love if she could

life

frustration

make love to a bar of soap

it's all you got

they ended short short relationship with a parting wish

"go **** yourself, *****

...and as she stands in shower

wonders if they'd feel satisfied

if they knew she did exactly that

it's all she has

one parting wish

and a bar of soap
