LIVING DANGEROUSLY
by F.N. Wright
I'd known her for years
an intimidating woman
to most men

including me until
I'd spent a tour
in Nam

she was sitting
at a table behind me
& my friends

I turned
tapped her on her
shoulder & said,

"I'm not like
most men
sue"

& she asked,
"What do you
mean?"

I must confess
I was very drunk

"they just want
to fuck you,"
I replied,
"& I just want to
eat you."

I turned back to my
drink before she
could say anything

then I tapped her
on the shoulder again
& told her
I owed her an apology
because I had lied to
her

"what do you mean?"
she asked

"I'd want to fuck you
after I ate you,"
I replied

telling her the truth
this time.
