Syntax Issue 10
Denver Syntax
{from out of wedlock}
  joseph goosey


if you suck on my
tits for about fifteen minutes
i can produce milk
even though
i've never been
pregnant

well, that didn't really
seem all too
bad to me, a good way
to get in some nutrients
and since
i don't quite exercise
i thought
why not?

besides i had a neighbor
once
who made brownies
and cookies (both
sugar AND chocolate
chip)
from her leftover breastmilk
and she didn't appear to be
too crazy

minute 14 rolls around
and i start to taste
what goes on
my cereal

ha

i begin to laugh
she laughs
with me

the cat gets off the bed
steps around it
and walks out the door

it will be a good day
i think this
as i pour my first cup
