Didatic Prom

Cashews and white 
bread post sex 
scent still lingers. 
Shirt sticks 
to belly. Burning 
sickening, turning. 

Skin thickens 
to the sens- 
itivity - the 
skin on settled 
pudding. Pants 
trap knees. 

Today and history. 
Me and you and me. 
Flakey, pastry skin. 
Coat hanger shoulders 
A clothesline shine. 

Never been touched.
