Eye play in My Bed
These Days
without a bed mate
I turn on My Phone
& check
My Rooftop Views
I choose My Underwear
very carefully
& Eye use The Toilet
with Its fickle plumbing
next door to My Very Own
Accommodations
Eye understand that Dr William Hunter Blair
does not consider Himself
“A Bad Guy.”
This is how He sees His Self,
therefore He is NOT
a “Bad Guy.”
Eye can forgive Him.
I can call The Truce because
Eye know He can
and will
Live With Himself.
Eye was The 1st-grader
Who spilt chocolate milk
on Her smocked blue and white dress
in the school cafeteria
just before She was to sing
in the chorus
of “Chicken Little”
Eye sat in My Mother’s
yellow butterfly chair
thrown out by
My First husband
tanned legs crossed —
broad arms crossed —
downward sideways glance
with My Father’s Gold Metal
around My Neck
& My Red Tank Top
bra-less
Is Reformation possible?
When Hell Freezes Over —
Can Eye make that
Happen?
Dr Blair has four children:
His oldest daughter is a year older than me
and I don’t know if she is dead or alive.
His second daughter is a very close friend of mine.
His son I guess I am still on speaking terms with —
and his fourth I just wish Happy Birthday.
Dr Blair has nine grandchildren —
three of them I have never met.
He has at least fourteen great grand children
and he doesn’t even want to know that they exist.
Hey Dr Blair
U stepped all over
My Fantasy —
Eye guess all that’s left
now
is to sue
Your Ass
Off
Dr Blair was surprised
I didn’t end up
in a dumpster in New York —
Well — he’ll be a lot more
surprised
when Eye end up
as The New Darling
of The Black Revolution
The Night awakes Me
with Its Crescent Moon —
alien construct
or yet unvisited
— Eye don’t care witch —
It’s so beautiful
hanging above
the beginning
of My Day
which is forever
beginning
The last time I had Sex
with Dr Blair
or was that Hunter?
everything was going along
fine
until he wanted me
to suck his dick.
Eye refused.
