the basic horn

she whimpers in white
you disagree
i cry
& we never know when to say
do not do this
or just do this
a knife & a gun surgically
placed between each butt-cheek
left or right
your neckline strangling tie
agreeing to clench
at the same time
before everything is blown
out of proportion a second
too late
she knocks on the unlatched door

I don't know how I feel about the butt cheek phrase here. It's not precise enough description to carry a word like butt cheek, maybe.

Oh, la.
