Words from an Asshole

Words from an Asshole

I'm puckered for you
after 2 hours of teasing.
My lips tensed
infront of your face.

I'm the man in the corner.
The one mother never warned about,
because I hid in layers of ambiguity;
a smile under a smile.

My body sways
from the constant amount
of courage
I drank down with force.

Oh, I'm oh so vulnerable:
what can I do?
Maybe you can help
these poor old lips of mine.

And you do-

And I laugh inside again.
Oh, how the weak
control the strong;
handling the gate.
