Tonight's Poet Corner: No Trouble
No Trouble
by Belinda Roddie
I can squeeze you into my schedule
no problem - your name in between
the baseball game at six PM and the
existential crisis at twelve AM. I've got
obligations, sure, but a stranger with
lime and juniper on his breath can
sway me just fine when my mind's
not pulsing like the hurricane tide,
Hawaiian sands bristling beneath
my disturbed skin. I'll take you in,
and after the screaming's done, I'll
be sure to give you a good time.
