As/Is

she said she'd teach me
how to walk like there was dick
in my pants. odd,

given all she had
was a clit
(dry as her lips)

like a
shrunken pea
beneath the fingers of my dominant

hand. but
it's okay.
she was trying. she

gets to the
heart of things, she
is the heart

of things
i peer
into vaulted ventricle ceilings

and see her,
serene,
her hair tangled in

capillaries,
swatting blood from her eyes.
i swore i'd

write about something
other than sex and
ducklings.

spring makes this
hard like the dick
in my

pants.
