I now
know how alone a Burmese python feels
Stranded
in the Florida Everglades after consuming a senior citizen’s pet Pekinese
Sated
but alone
A
little itchy on the inside
Feeling
the need to escape and then realizing you have no feet and
You’re
in a food coma
Granted,
the python didn’t just friends-with-benefits-zone someone because they were
only 5’9”
Among
other reasons
Such as
lack of education and making racist jokes
Being
height-ist is better than admitting you had sex with someone who is an active
reddit user
It is a
cruel rule of time that
When a
young woman is not interested in being emotionally intimate with the person she
is physically intimate with will be
The
exact moment in time when all the men in the greater San Francisco Bay Area
decide they want to settle down . . . with their ex . . . or the girl who
brought the keg . . . or their friend’s sister . . .
Or
maybe even the damned Pekinese if it was interested in hearing how their day
went.
The safety of denying intimacy is
Negated once the unloved lovers find braver souls
They cannot leave me if there is nothing to leave and I
cannot lose if I give nothing away
I cannot be ugly if I never ask to be called beautiful
I cannot be missing what I never wanted to begin with.
Maybe that last one is a lie
Promiscuity is only fulfilling until your harem of caressers
wanders into commitment
With other people
One by one
Until I am left sitting on my bed
Just my boundaries and me.
