I could lick your face
Grab the side of it and go
In your car
The taste of tart
Tip of my tongue
A flavor I must learn
To acquire
If I can
I know you come with tart
I can see it
On your palms
Soft but with a callus
Or two
Don’t worry
I don’t need to hear it
I can see her right there
You do a terrible job of hiding
What you don’t know
Is that I beat you
To your own…
Punch-line.

Second Thoughts
At first glance
Will surely kill me
Ostentatious
https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/ostentatious/
You once called me articulate
I couldn’t possibly forget
I stood naked before the class
Waiting for a cold assessment
Of my character
Who I am as a person
Stripped away with mere words
Words that no amount of years could heal
Instead you looked at me
Told me I could do
What I set out to do
And I thank you so much
For you see
I still haven’t a clue
What ostentatious means
End of class
Didn’t get it
Shouldn’t have anyway
What am I to know about the world
Small town
Nobody around
Acting for the sake
Of being someone else
For a while.
