My buddy,
he bets she’s wild
After all,
she’s only had it once
and it was with a mediocre poet
that’s not interesting enough
for anybody
to hate

Without doubting
the validity of his argument
I guestion
the finer points

For “wild”
implies
some masculine fantasy
dirty talking
closet nymphomaniac
porno princess

Not that a closet nymphomaniac
Is necessarily bad

She just aint one

I was told so
on no
uncertain
terms

But I’ll bet,
by god,
she’s playful

I could imagine her
flirtatiously
singsongy
french words
that I can’t
quite
conjugate
and eating peanut ice cream
in cotton panties
and not sharing
the ice cream

Romantic?
Yes
Stupid?
Maybe
Possible?
Who knows

And wouldn’t I prefer that
To the porno princess?

Well,
it all depends,
sometimes innocent
is a hell of a lot more dangerous
