JEAN JACKET BOY

Most nights.

I alternate between wanting you to whisper the lyrics of Blue
Moon in my ear, or to talk about the pornos we could film
together.

Chew up my food for me, spit it in my mouth.

THE MOST CHARMING BOY IN THE WORLD

most girls, i don’t know if you know this,
don’t love sex.
they like it—
but they don’t love it.
other girls don’t love sex as much as you do.
do you know why you’re so fun to have sex with?
it’s because you love it so much.

THE MOST CHARMING BOY IN THE WORLD, PT.2

don’t worry, honey,
to me
it’s the same as if
i ejaculated into
a Kleenex,
or something.
