To the Babes of Myspace

Been sick so haven't written much this week--just this shit
It will have to suffice for Tony's tonight


THE REST OF IT GOES HERE
To the Babes of MySpace who want to be my friend,
posing in bras and panties in your profile pics
I am touched by your interest
The way you all expose your bodies to strangers
as I do my soul in my poems makes me feel instant kinship
So I accept you all--
Candy, Kaitlyn, Hannah, Kylie, Ava, Faith--
click
Faith?--why are you trying to sell me a cell phone?
Candy?--a penis enlarger?
Are these just ice-breakers to get us closer?
Friends are so funny.
Ah, Kaitlyn, your page says welcome, I’m your playboy bunny
But when I click see more pics I’m redirected to Fling.com--
Loads of girls with sexy names but Kaitlyn where are you?
I see Wet dream girl, Cooch on fire, Dick teaser, Cock for me,
Suck n’ swallow 17--
Suck n’ swallow 17? You a writer?
Alliteration always gives me a hard-on.
Cooch on fire you left a comment on my latest blog entry,
A somewhat meandering philosophical piece in which
I compare the fondling of a beer can to that of a woman’s breast
You said you were thinking the same things I was thinking
and I thought O my God?!--
Cooch on fire’s a poet--and I’m in love
Click--my ex-wife?--
Sarah--you want to be my friend after all these years?
click, click, redirect--what? you’re meathole bitch 29 now?
Remember 1997 when you were 17 and I 29 taught you how to drive
and would run my tongue over your sweet-milk neck?
and you called me--my daddy and would then pout apocalyptic
till I called you--my girl
After filling my toilet twice with puke,
I check back and half your profiles no longer exist--
I thought we were friends.

Melinababe 36 left a comment: hello handsome--
just stopped by to check your profile and looks very interesting
will love to say hello and probably want to meet you for serious
long-term relationship--am 5ft 6inches tall, green eye,
average look and great sense of humor
she gives me her cell phone #
hope to hear from you soon
Forgetting the others I sit transfixed before the profile pic of Melinababe 36.
Green thong, white teeth, nice tits, age appropriate--
Clearly now I’m answering the hero’s call to adventure
Click--
If you have a warm heart and are nice [yes, yes]
funny, generous with yourself, humble, open-minded [yes yes, yes yes]
responsible [oh shit--what’s this?]
and have no current baggage, issues or drama in your life
a tear drips onto the keyboard.
Please have a job! a car!
and be financially able to provide for me and my daughter, Amy
at this point I look in the mirror and say
Mike--your 14 grand a year ain’t gonna cut it,
you’re 40, it’s over, over
but I read on--
if you’re pretentious or self-centered please skip me--
I’m so back to you suck n’ swallow 17!
Suck n’ swallow 17--please love me?
