Accessorize

"catnip," you thought, stirring the lust pot
with clever wordplay and cool disinterest
here was my chance to dance the seduction
with kohl lined blue promises
and morals scattered like loose change
on the burning sidewalk
"oops...did i drop something?"
I could mutter my disinterest
feign carelessness
but I couldn't hide my blush
you didn't rush in
a furtive knight
smelling my distress
you kept your cards hidden with a poker face
showed me around the house
showed me the pictures of the women
who dented your wall
and asked me why I wasn't happy
something was going to happen
the stew was simmering
then bubbling
then boiling over
you didn't need any new scars
so I took you down with me
whispered,"there's always aloe vera"
and as we writhed
moaning
I told Jiminy Cricket
to stop his stupid chirping
and call a taxi
as my unleashed whore went to war
with your angel.
