The Cock Block
Since you told me what a great guy I am,
I have found that the walk from my front
door to the empty garbage can on the curb
is a great deal longer than I remember.
Since you have taken to reminding me
of how nice it is to have me around,
I have found myself staying up late at night
drinking vodka and soda pop, watching
the goddamn discovery channel.
Since you decided not to let me fuck you
six ways to sunday I find my future turning
slowly, like a retarded child, like a fever
dream, into something it wasn’t. Tomorrow
is another country, as far away as the empty
garbage can at the far end of my driveway.
I like it.
