Anus Blues

Charles Michael Craven

at the bars
on the street
and driving in cars
the pretty girls
sit with prettier guys;
the girls are rehearsing for a role
they’re dying to play,
will die to play.

the guys are just actors,
warm ups,
nobodies on a local little stage,
practicing their lines
as the girls pretend to care.

the girls dream of the big top
while the guys know this is as far as they’ll get
and they hold on to the woman for as long as they’ll let the charade go on.

after thinking of this on the toilet
I realize I’m done shitting and
even though my stomach still has more
my ass has thrown in the towel.

the ass hole is made of the same
material that makes our lips.

our lips are stronger;
they have more practice
spewing out shit,
even mine.

this reality reminds brings my mind
back to the bars.
