    the ox outside the gate

    once there was this girl
    who's name is irrelevant
    as we speak of her at the present time
    now this girl of whom we refer
    had a cup that overfloweth
    with something much sweeter than wine
    it took quite a lot
    to make this said girl
    turn her back on her construction site in the sky
    when finally distracted- though brief and half hearted
    and most likely accompanied with a sigh-
    her thoughts were astounding
    "Ingenious!" said a few
    definitely worth turning an ear
    she would stand tall and proud
    take a deep breath and let go
    to all who were willing to hear
    prophetic words dripping with profundity
    dribbled sweetly from her painted pout
    and the heads that she turned
    were numerously ignored
    as she tried to convey exactly what she was about
    but to her great surprise
    her words were muted
    for underneath her mouth sat her tits
    and funny she hadn't noticed
    as she grew passed the age of drink
    that nothing ever spoke louder than this
    and this totally shocked her
    no longer able to pass even remotely for just one of the guys
    not her knowledge of the world
    nor video game skills
    could compete with what was hidden between her thighs
    to be a commodity- to be thought of as hot
    was always in the back of her mind
    but once it was a reality- staring her in the face
    she wanted only a hiding place no one could find
    and she tried not to think
    of the ways of nature
    or what was expected of human beings
    and how she could be sure
    that after giving in to sin
    it was her that they were still seeing
    she finally relented with a torturous deliberation
    to let go of herself and her soul
    she gave herself over to that guy with that grin
    that wailing guitar and the never ending green bowl
    but to ensure her individuality
    and to be sure that the picture he held of her
    was forever and ever the same
    she fucked him madly
    and passionately
    and deeply
    but never once, not one time
    gave her name
