Because He Cannot Be Lonely

Sometimes a nice man wears deodorant
and is nice to pretty girls.
The nice man is taking a friendlier, more hands-on
approach; he is a very genuine guy seeking friends.

He is genuine and more genuine, and of course
if we like each other we want to have a nice sex relationship
with our friends at church. Forever
is a long time with a nice man.

My memory has now catalogued him under “very nice man.”
What has he done to deserve that?
And now I am with the Brazilian teacher in Bangkok.
We take for granted running water.
We take for granted healthy body, get up and hit it HARD.

Because of a restricted blood supply to the area of his
prostate, leading to unbearable intoxication,
the nice man has been saddened.
Is it a waste to spend a lifetime selling milk!

The nice man is writing to us, because he cannot be lonely.
He’s the one who takes their tears away
and puts them in the children’s zoo.
He’s the one who has an irreproachable body
and keeps it freshly polished.

When there’s snow on the ground, I want
nice men who do the weather on TV.
I want a nice man that knows the winning of love.
I want a nice man who may not be as funny as others
but still is worth a little laugh.
