couldn’t say no to the sex and drugs 
and she massage his tough hunch into a comfy shrug
purely hugs, a little more, neither could’ve smelled the love
cuz he liked that when she sleep she do the Jitterbug

from the back of her neck, as if habitual memory
synapses crackle poppin every twitchy extremity 
a somnambulist’s compromise 
but fuck it gave him butterflies 
amenities heavier than whatever she do with other guys 

he couldn’t believe his dumb luck, how could this have happened?
a tipsy, turvy, curvy, sexy girl fell right into his lap and 
even told him he’s as a good a fuck as any other cat 
hold him close, quoting Cicero, and the patriarchy’s whack 

and it went like that
for awhile
then she went away
for a long while
 
upon return it was clear, that emotions were weird
dismissal, obsession, both sides of the field 
he’s wishing and guessing, keep an eye on how she feel
but he summoned to the Dear John Court of Appeals

her timing not to perfect, skirting hurting his lovely person
brought the sweatshirt back,  foreign ambassador for certain 
a shadow in the place of a rat who ran the race and the 
Gambit of Intimacy, trip the trap baited with your grace 

she said “it’s anybody’s guess exactly what it is I need”
her muddied up expressions not intended to mislead 
he bloodies up a desk a couple buckled knuckles guaranteed 
and snuck a fuckin sucker punch up in his ego and the greed

and it went like that
for awhile
then he went away
for awhile 

livin solipsistic, subsistin on holistic, 
travelling heuristic, ask him if he rip-shit 
Nah
really all is well, wish he could tell her all the shit 
in which he stepped and fell and how the bottom of the well
became a stepping stone, a blessing known to those without a mental pail
to piss in, makes one opportunistic and thankful for this mystic

thankful that she even bothered with his goofy ass
and 99% spit the truth when he ask
and though she taught him to be fearful of the nearly perfect girls
he thought it tight that at a point was only him and her against the world 

danke schön, gracias, thanks a bunch and arigato 
for showing him that love is fake but sweet like good gelato 
parting secret, bit unique, he says between just you and me
those jitterbugs are still the funniest fuckin thing he’s ever seen

Jitterbug
