the boarding house
for cynthia
this is for your soft forgiving sex
and my lack of restraint
for in my lustful enthusiasm
i mistakenly took pleasure
where i meant only to tease
your baseball nipples
and jewish sighs
and your astonishment at the beauty of my sex
oh how you bargained for its pleasure
and i
lost in the silly momentum
of false praise and hot thoughts
of little future
and even during
i was remembering
to conveniently forget
