Girls.

Men will always leave me

For simpler girls

Girls whose last names

They do not need to know.

Girls who are pretty and dumb

Girls from good families

That fuck

Like they’re not.

Girls with nice dresses

Girls who sleep through the night

And don’t ask you

For coffee.

You will leave me, you know.

And find a girl

Who doesn’t hate her mother

And doesn’t remind you of yours.

You’ll find a girl who drinks,

But not too much

Curses,

But not too much

Talks,

But not too much.

You’ll find a girl who

Eats better than I do

A girl who doesn’t think

Ice cream and whiskey

Or nothing at all

Is a meal.

But you won’t find a girl

As exciting

Or interesting

Because even when I’m dangerous,

It’s still an adventure.

At least
I have that going for me.
