Who knows how long

Your skinny
white
finger
is poking
directly
into
my eye


You know
where
the
color
stops
and
there is
a dark spot


Well
your finger
has penetrated
my eye
and
now is
playing
the piano
with
my fontal lobe

While
you finger
me
I twitch
like
an animal
runover
by a car

I
feel
intense
pleasure

And
the part
of me
that
creates
working memory

Imagines
a long lake
frozen
like
a fingernail


I don't
want
anything
that you
could
not
give
me

i like when ian is the only person who comments on his poem.

i am sorry ian.

this is the time of year when i neglect things and shut down.

it doesn't suck.

it is different from your usual style i think.

i like longer lines better personally.
