some women

before discovering
normal, in the past
i've been attracted
to some strange
women, or they've
been attracted to me.
cat ranchers,
hoarders, collectors
of knick knacks.
tap dancers.
women who could snap
a cigarette out
of your mouth with
a bullwhip from twenty
paces or stop you
in your tracks with
just the look in their
eyes. then i thought
it through, that maybe
there was something
about me that
brought them near.
i try not to think
too much about that
though, it's a very
scary thought.
