Peril #52 of Having a Mother
Alois talked up
fastidious habits he
observed while engaged
in love's excitations.
Bus drivers on Haight
were clued in, shop clerks,
everyone in a radius knew
his pride of ownership.
I wish Mom talked sex
as much as he did.
I know lots about travels of the spirit.
I'm sort of mental.
May I take off my clothes.

That’s a prayer.
May I take off my clothes,
roll about and know the cloud of unknowing.
Sweetie, it wants to be known, don’t you think?
