Immediate gratification
was deliciousness on two legs
Said all the right things to me
then cleaned my bank account
I pray to me now
Ignore his calls
Take lovers
Drink Tej*
Feast
*Tej is an Ethiopian honey wine.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

I learned a new word! Thank you!
I want to try Tej now. And this poem resonated with the shell of a memory of an old me. A begging conversation that was had out loud so many times. I finally listened. And like I said on your other poem: Life since: Sweet. Indeed.
YES. Gold.
