Don’t tell me your sex stories
with flowers,
because I know that it’s bullshit.
Tell me what it was like
that one time
you both got drunk
and she burped in your mouth
after she took off her shirt,
but you kissed her anyway
so she wouldn’t feel embarrassed.
Tell me how you tried
and tried
and tried
a few times
to get your pants off,
but you eventually gave up and just
wore them around your ankles
so that you could hurry back to her.
Tell me that you would fuck her
even though neither
you
nor her
are flowers.
Because you’re not.
And that’s ok.

This is brilliant! Sex, love, life. They are messy things and you, as always, write the truth of it. I always love that about your poetry, Lou! Great piece!

More people should write about the real shit. I’d follow way more people if that actually happened. Great observations Lou, as per.

This is basic woman “attention-whoring” to make you think she is of value.
Shock value to try to impress with how cool she is…
Tell the girl how you “King-Kong-Donkey-f*cked” her Mom.
That will put things in perspective for her.
See you in “Church” tomorrow Lou. 🙂

This is great. Sex is often messy and has awkward moments – especially the first time with someone. Shower or bath sex is never like the movies and very uncomfortable lol 😂

Love how you talk about sex. It’s not like in the movies but something wild, at times awkward and often thrilling.
