"Write me a poem," she said - my fucking wife,
leaning on the kitchen counter like a Saturday afternoon.
But it was Tuesday and there was blood -
and dirt, there was always dirt in those days -
under my nails from working goddamn hard for her.

Those were still the days of her warm cunt every morning,
my profanity whispered to the ribs under the weight
of her left breast like a goddamned prayer.
Those were the better days and I tried to find rhymes
Between my teeth just for her mouth, her lips, her tongue.

But there ain't no escape from meter gone off-balance
and an ambitious woman climbing above your head.
"Write me a poem," she said - my fucking wife,
and I tried it just for her hair wrapped up in my fingers
as she knelt on the tile like she was worshipping -

Not just my cock but the way things were between us,
ripe and drunk and soaked in purple dye like her lacy things,
frivolous bits I could peel off her like skin falling from its fruit.

She got her poem, verses strung out of me like a junkie
and I wonder if she kept it - hope she has it like preserves
to spread on thick slices of bread on rare cold Georgia mornings.

I fucking guess you mean it, using my name like that.

So, goddamn it, thank you.

This is really powerful. I'd say you're better at poetry than you think you are.

I'd have to agree with this.

I'll tell you the same thing, Chompers - I know where my talents are and I know I ain't much of a writer. But thank you anyway.

Have to agree with the above. This is very moving.

Probably helps I know what your wife looks like, but still.

How you know what my fucking wife looks like?

I'm just going by what I've seen of the one from this universe.

That's all fucking right then. I was about to goddamn say, though, man.

She IS a sweet piece. I ought to pay her a damn visit at some point. A nice little fucking surprise.

From: [identity profile] original-fine.livejournal.com
Yes. Sorry to drop that on you like that.

I hope you mean a nice surprise with flowers, and fucking, that sort of thing.

Feeling any better?

From: [identity profile] sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com
I am a little more goddamn cheerful, thank you for fucking asking.

We don't do flowers. But there might be some fucking involved. There generally fucking is. But, then, you know what she looks like.

Good to hear.

I can imagine, and sometimes do. But I also have the impression that not all of your surprises are welcome ones for the recipients.

From: [identity profile] sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com
I'd say surprised here are generally less well received than surprises in your pussy universe.

Date: 2010-01-21 05:05 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] original-fine.livejournal.com
Hence my concern.

You got something against pussy?

I'd fucking call ahead but her guards don't take kindly to me.

And, you know, I'd say I've got my cock against it but Chapel ain't on shift yet.

From: [identity profile] original-fine.livejournal.com
Hmm. That might be a sign.

And I expected a response like that.

From: [identity profile] sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com
Well, ain't like she ain't always glad to see me once the screaming stops.

You ever get married, don't let your wife fucking marry someone else without getting a divorce first. Bad idea.

I'd hate to disappoint you, Golden Boy.

I'll keep that in mind. It sounds like good advice.

Mighty sweet of you, Scruffy.

That little fucking Riley puppy dog of yours came pissing all over my journal with his high and mighty. Can't decide if it's more fun to rub his nose in it or go back to Peaches.

Riley is not a puppy-dog, he is a friend. A slightly ower protectiwe friend, but a friend nether the less. And he is not mine before you start any of that.

I am sure you vill garner emense satifaction from vhatewer you choose.

We do. It's our highest art form. I was never very good at it, though.
