FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

he thought about love
he anticipated its delights
all delights
until one day love came
and it brought him
pain and

since then he had second thoughts
suspicious about
love
and lovers and
everything that smells something like it

sometimes when the air brings a little
scent of it
from a very far distance

he pukes and he imagines the pain
and he says

i may never love
love again

his ass has tightened like
another virgin
in town again.
