Poet Profile

He says
“cunt” the same way
an eager little boy
says “mommy, look at me.”
Says “vagina”
the same way
he might once have said
“ain’t I smart?”
Says “pussy”
as if it were a key
and some locked door
might open if he turns it
the right way, exposing
fresh, exciting toys. 

Keep it up,
we tell him,
you’ll tire of it some day,
although at this point,
none of us are sure of that
anymore.
