You Know What...

I agree with Bernadette.

I think I always agree with Bernadette.

Never feel sorry for yourself for the energy you couldn't contain, or what spilled over out of your body.


   LARGE IMITATION CLASSICAL LUNE

Patricia my man
you disapprove of men but
when we fucked
you didn't mind my boyishness
so very much
you said it reminded you
of my Sophia
now you and Beth attack
my new boyfriend
and say he hasnt anything
to say plus
he's just like other men
to idiot Bernadette
you say how I love
men takes time
from our conversations our privacy
but you don't
feel that way about Maureen!
Laura'd be horrified
to know which she does
that I speak
of you two as one
but, girlfriends, remember
the sky's the limit in
these risky questions
of friendship and of love
I've overcome all
my subway phobias, my fears
of enclosed spaces
I'll go to Staten Island
I'll go alone
Mommy and I arent one
but I wont reform
I still wanna make love
to you two
as one and, too, him
