should I tell my girlfriend that
the most beautiful cumshot
I ever saw
was under water
a woman that maybe looked like
Marilyn Monroe, her hair
was moving
electrically
and the ejaculation was floating
in front of her face
like
alone

just took that bookshelf
not Billy
but real wood
bought a hand saw
at the tool store
and cut it in two
a smaller shelf
and a new TV bench
that also was but didn’t remain
IKEA
