SHADES OF BROWN
JOSHUA CHEN
She mentions
terrible things and numerous flings
Umpteenth date
in search of a mate
She jokes, self deprecating
Leaving the boys self defecating.
They all grow emotionally invested
until they know
what she has unconditionally ingested.
“I had a scat kink,” she recalled
as he sat and turned pink, horribly appalled.
“I’ve abused substances — the bodily type
the others are shoddy — it’s all tripe!
Do you regret your right swipe?”
She’ll bounce about
in Brownian motion
until she snaps out
of her naive notions.
