By the shark
Date: 25 April 2001

been around the world

time away
has made me grow
expand
able to see new worlds and new opportunities for love.

in my time
i've broken many
hearts
and i hope to live a lot longer to break a lot more.

okay
not exactly
but
i realise now how a good love poem can get a girl in bed.

wait
oops
that's not
what i meant to say either---words trick and tease me like a girl.

no no no--
look
i love women
and what i mean is, the time away has made me think things over.

and after
thinking things over
i realise
that i can't dessert the women of the world---even though they tease me.

listen here
i'm not a dog
so
don't be afraid of my bark. it's okay to pet my head....

i am no demon,
i am the shark.
