What’s funny is
You know I would
If you leaned forward
Just enough
To give me an excuse
To say I didn’t mean to
But it was there
And what else was I supposed to do
Even while I was staring
With hands full of opportunity
I bet you’d pretend
You didn’t want to tempt me
Give in
And let me
And hang on to your self-respect
(Your mother’s words memorized)
By the teeth
While your legs begged to tremble
And your pride whimpered
Wanting to melt away
What’s even funnier
Is that you know
That I know
If we slipped
We’d break something between us
That could never be fixed
And would have to get drunk
In a disgusting blaze of liquid fire
Sweating out our souls
To make it worth
All we would lose
