Three Anti-theories about Sex

Kyle Hemmings

1.

Should I believe him
when he says that he loves me
& the next minute he’s talking about
Tudor door handles & wind-up ospreys?
He says he can speak French
like the waiter on 53rd.
He fucks like a stiff under blue ice.

2.

If you promise to keep your strawberry-waxed lips sealed,
I won’t say a word about what you gave me in the bathroom,
as if I’ll carry for days an undiagnosed case of mono.
I will fart foxtail orchards & silver-toothed fairies in my sleep.
You will have a simple case of the runs.

3.

How can I pay for my drugs? Do I have to fuck every guy
with a seesaw tongue & baby spiders for eyes?
Do I have to rub noses with every uptown woman
with a poodle & a master key, whose husbands
write dissertations as to why their pets don’t shit
but humans get constipated? Do I have to sing solo
in a married man’s bed & reorganize his drawers of last year’s Boxers?
Do I have to paint myself as ultra-violet & glow profusely?
