To Be Sexy

To Be Sexy

(March 29 2020-

On a Mountain)

I turned on Shakira the other day

He told me that I should learn Reggaeton to

Know it- sexiness. Standing here I light

My cigarette in the dark, was it you that

Wrote this line?

You never really made a lot of sense. And yet

Songs start off

With a light iridescent. A truth meshes

In with the mike, in order to be sexy I guess.

I have doubt in my breast

Which tries to unfurl each m little wrap when I

Struggle with the jointed ashes.

A joint . . . that’s what they called it? More like mess, Reggaeton, vodka and life in the South is a

Little something. LSD makes hallucinogenic

Then the rest comes like

A freight train running through the star-spotted emptiness. I think that I am simply alchemist, a mix of the right ingredient to make the world explosive

Nothing this, nothing pat, a simple recipe for sexiness- 

do I jest?
