the ; ) personals

your new girlfriend
that you met on the Gregg's
list personals,
madame x, wants to tie
you up and tickle
you with a feather.
drop hot wax from
burning candles onto
your skin. hit you
with a barbed whip.
but you don't
want to. you hardly
know her, and don't
exactly trust
her because you've
never seen her
without her leather
mask before.
she's nice,
and friendly, which
is basically
the same thing, but
she's personable
and a great
conversationalist,
which is important in
this day and age.
it's hard to explain
the attraction,
but she is a good
cook, her lasagna
is out of this world.
you just wonder
sometimes what she
really looks like
without the spandex
and leather, the thigh
high boots and like
I said, the mask.
