what she doesn't want
she doesn't want to know
that you are simple
that you eat and shit
and drink too much
and have a bad back
what she wants to think
is that you are an undiscovered
gold mine
or perhaps that you come from
the eastern slope
of some mountain in Nepal
abandoned by the missionaries
raised by the tribes people
and found your way
alone
to this city
by the ocean
for her only
or she wants you
to be going back
to that eastern slope
so there will be no consequences
so that when it is over
she will have had a gem
in her hands
and not a man
with sore bones
and no where else to go
