I Can't Help Thinking

I can’t help thinking

that almost every girl I meet

could possibly, potentially be,

yes, a screamer in the sack,

or better, a soul mate in the sack,

or even a confidant in a coffee shop, or anywhere.

And then they could jointly rule my kingdom

imperiously, like the Queen of Babylon,

or maybe Bathsheba, who was having a bath

when David espied her and then jumped her in his boudoir.

I suppose an exhibitionist needs a ******

Gee. But it wasn't kosher for David, the King of Judea,

to then have murdered Bathsheba's husband, Uriah,

so he could afterwards marry her.

What? Yeah, this is all in that whodunnit,

the first tabloid, the Old Testament.

But look, I'm getting away from the path here.

What I'm talking about is girls that I innocently meet

without trying to get them in closer.

I don't spy on girls in the bath or the shower

and I don't have anyone murdered for *** or for power.

Or for anything! I'm a writer, see?

I simply imagine, inside my head,

that we all fall fabulously in love,

and blow our minds instead.
