Polar Opposites
We�ve got these cold feet
in the one-inch wading pools blues
that populate Norfolk, Virginia
like rats.
                   ~~
I turned back then for good
when you whispered to my knees
in a salty, ocean voice
that heaven is a dictatorship,
before you waded slowly away,
unaware of the small ripples
that cascaded around your thighs.

As you left me,
leaving me to draw my own conclusions
about what God may look like,
should he grow a Hitler moustache,
and turn on the Jews.

This, before the waves knocked me over,
and my lungs filled with life;
I grew then towards the sun,
between the fragments of your human voice,
that littered the surface
of this exhaustedly calm pool,
that grated upon my nerves
more then I dare to note.
Sorry About The Monkey...
Well....That's My Momma!
