We keep flames near
the petroleum ocean between us
yet I look at your Jimi Hendrix haircut
and your fu manchu
and wonder why things still are
the way they are
My reflection on "The Arab" by Alice Neel

I am surrounded by people
Who think my boyfriend is
Gay
Just because
He treats me with
Respect.

Someone to use the sink next to mine
Who tells me every morning
That I sound funny when I gargle

I bought the ticket
I drank the wine
Yet how beautiful it was
To live
Beneath him.

Falling in love
With you
is like discussing
Color theory
With a chameleon

This
Is the end,
The chocolate
At the tip
Of a Drumstick.
Samantha Goodman Oct 2013
Those nights
When you spend forty-five minutes
Washing your very short hair,
But the water from the shower head
Isn't the only thing
Trickling down your cheeks.
