thirteen. rode his bike by my house every day one summer. mohawk. jumped into the river. wet clothes. touched my boob.
seventeen. hungry, young. liked oral sex. i refused to go any further. tan body. smoked a lot of weed.
twenty-one. wild, drunk. threesomes. all tall, athletic straight men who liked to watch one another.
forty-five. rugby coach. big, hairy man. smoked a lot of weed. terets-like outbursts of cursing remembered fondly.

thanks. because i realized that when my name is googled, this webpage comes up and i’m not sure i want future employers/boyfriends etc. thinking it’s autobiographical and being freaked out. or ex-boyfriends feeling exploited. plus it’s just not that great of a poem. i wish more people would comment on this site! we need to get the members more active.

Aebra… your poem was interesting…Im an older woman and wet behind the ears.
but i do look at meaning and i can apreciate the feelig of life for some people through some of your words.we cannot all be the same, thats what poetry is part of….life”
being happy is a choice that we make on our own…being sad is a choice also and to be
human is natural. there is a lot of good work on this site …and yours is one of them.If you choose to take it off …it is your choice…but you gotta think….what about the readers who do like it…. interesting….
