Museworthy: Jose Touches His Toes
Jose's smooth bumleans up against the cold wall
Tight pants
go all the way to the floor
And Jose says
“It feels like a cunt
It really does”
And the man looks
at Jose's smooth face
and small hands
and tight smile and says
“I ain't never had
a woman in prison,
you sayin' I should
start now?”
Tight pants
fall all the way to the floor
And Jose touches his toes
and says
Áª±«²Ô²Ô±ð³¦±ð²õ²õ²¹°ù²â,
just look on it as a
situational constraint.”
