no symmetry needed


as the writer of the dark streets of decay

i need my l.a.

jenny gave me a place to write

hung my street maps of l.a.

hollywood, santa monica

 

thanked her for the space

she cups the chin upon my face

in her delicate asian fingers

“you don’t know how much it pisses

me off that i love you”

 

yeah, i can debate with

the greatest theological minds

but all i can offer her

is a weak smile

 

the skin that’s tough and weathered rough

          so i am edible

devour me just as you see

          is inconceivable

yet here i am a blemished lamb

          worthy of sacrifice

to love me just the way i am

          i might just be enticed
