Blood and Guts: Helena Lazaro
Poem
October 28, 2004 01:09 AM

Out of consideration
for my friends
I use a sort of shorthand
to keep my men straight.
Nicknames that say it all.

Boy Toy.
Special Effects.
That Little Bitch.

It’s so they know
who I’m talking about
when I mention a date.
The problem isn’t that
I have the fellows lying around in piles.
Just that
they’re never around
long enough
to earn a name
worth making my loved ones
remember.
