You say you haven’t fucked like a freak in forever,
but I think you mean never—
because what counts
when you’re barely there?
Even infants suckle:
the body’s first reflex,
natural, instinctive,
seconds out of the womb.
I think you were just a little girl
rehearsing a movie scene,
watching from between your mother’s fingers
as she covered your eyes.
Ta-da—you bowed
for the applause
that never came.
Neither did you.
Everyone else did.
Is that what you haven’t had
in forever?
