it’s worth noting
the shift in perspective
which comes
with the turn of the calendar
when i was younger
a scared sweet young thing
watching
the old black and white
cape fear
i wasn’t rooting for robert mitchum
but by 20
i was wet for full color robert deniro
with his throbbing “vengeance is mine” tattoo
a pleasant day ten years ago was sunshine
and a quiet house
today someone baked me a cake
wrote a poem about my snatch
and invited me to gang bang
it’s been a good day
