Affair

Affair

this affair
between me
and these words
we keep it 
illicit
telling nobody
cause
it's sorta like
carrying on
with the dumb
ugly girl
in town
that everybody 
feels sorry for
and it'd seem
like taking advantage
to be caught
messing around
with her

which begs the question
in this scenario
between me and the words
who's really the cad?
and who's
the ugly 
pitiable girl?

which begs 
another question
if this
is an affair
why isn't it
more steamy
erotic
and salacious?
i think
it's cause
i don't know how
to get these words
hot
or wet
can't make 'em purr
so i leave her dry
no matter
how much
i pet
or how much caffeine or beer
i drink
trying to get the dick
hard
and ready
for action

so i fail
in this affair
but hell
there's nothing else to do
so i'll keep on
trying to seduce
the slow
ugly girl
here
in
town
or let the beauty
of words
continue
trying to
seduce
this dumb
pitiful
ugly guy
of this 
dumb 
ugly
pitiful
town
