Poetry
Guest Pantry
by Colin James
She is ghost like
sees through me
adds up my assets
commends me not.
Wears a gown of ridicule
sleeves like dependents trail
behind then the rest.
Love is a reenactment.
A guy and a guy.
A girl and a girl.
Don't believe what you heard.
I'm disappointed too.
I would much rather have
a cute little simile
laboriously upbeat.
The stairs creak like desire.
You best take off some clothes
and lean a little.
