One Word: PROSECCO

      © Silpinwita Das

Here are five more words:

LIVE FOR THE FUCKING DAY.

I don't save my bubbly for a special occasion, boo.

Come over to favor me with a friendly fuck.

I'll pour you two glasses.

I'm generous.

Much like our girl Kali 

I collect gentleman callers.

Don't be scared.

I kill so well

you'll feel like

you're floating

in fuck ass soup.

How Do You Say Booty Call in Spanish?

I can Google that shit. 

Everything I need to know I learned in my cowboy boots

after an eviscerating job interview on Union Street.

The bus took me to the bridge.

I thought of all the suicides.

I decided not to be a cliche.

I wiped away the tears and walked the beach

and then I walked the streets

and then I rode MUNI

and then I crawled into my rented bed

on Clayton Street

and under the influence of Benadryl and beer

dreamed of the loveliest cock in the world

sliding in and out of my mouth/pussy/ass

like it was designed solely

for my distraction

and destruction.

My love is deeper than deep and lovelier

than any rose,

French or English

or otherwise.
