A National Geographic View

Evvy Gordon

Once I watched
As a man talked at me
About his secondary sexual characteristic:
The ability to fuck for fuck’s sake.

He said, “I’m not proud,”
Like his dick was a cheetah’s incisors
Forcing him to prey on flesh
By design, and not at all transgression.

And the traitorous wedding band
On his sweaty hand
Tapped nervously against the sweaty pint glass,
And his traitorous eyes jutted around
Like they weren’t sure they were convincing
Enough.

I wondered, is he for real?
And all I wanted to say to him was
Are you for real?

And there just was not enough
Humanity in me
To feel sorry for him
Though he would never know
The difference between predator and prey.
