it was 4:30 am. we were standing on a city street corner. half the world was waking up and the other half was falling asleep. he asked when i was leaving town and i said much too soon. he was a pretty enough boy i'd known him for 3 hours of accidental fingertips meeting in every bar on the street. he asked me if i was going home with him i laughed and said i didn't do people with worse self esteem than me...
he reached in through my mouth and grabbed everything that i ever used to hate about myself and shoved them into the hole on the left side of his chest and said 'do you like me now? do YOU want me NOW? WILL YOU FUCK ME NOW?'
i reached back into the visceral cavity, took back what was mine. i gave him a kiss for good luck, sqeezed his side and slid into the waiting taxi without looking back.
baby, yr always gonna get left behind...
