Here's little poem, on this day, by William Matthews...not in a bitter kinda way. I just really like the guy. And love you too!
Old Girlfriends
I thrust my impudent
cock into them
like a hand raised in class.
What they knew that I didn't learn
was not to ask:
one participates.
To say one is "in love"
says everything:
the tongue depressor breaks
into flame.
To say "one" is in love
means me, hero of all these poems,
in love as in a well
I am the water of.
