| ***BIO*** Dennis Lepe, 22 yrs old,and I am a student at Riverside City College in Riverside, CA. I was the lead singer in an unknown indie rock band called "From Now Till 47," before I went to college. Although being apart of a band has long ended my days of songwritting, it has been my natural bridge to poetry. |

| Afterschool Afternoons and The Everyday Scheme We Live By |
| by Dennis Lepe |
| Now I am selling you the opposite ends of my face,
oh, and to no other. and guess what, I’m naked now and all my life I’ve been longing for a leaflet like you sensual but not a woman, brutal but not a matador you know, I like where this is going. you’re unlike him, my husband, half a horse you know, a centaur but the other way around. like I need those parts, the prevailing combination of a not so man. A woman can sure swing with a guy like you, maybe during quick breaks between work, an empty classroom afterschool, between the role of a humble housewife. you know, like after my morning cigarette, when the man’s had his exiguous fill between my thighs. Oh, such a rush, a thrilling nugget for the colds of an everyday scheme, mysterious, covert like the lioness before her prey of choice, meanwhile, naive, frail like the prey before her ruin, something adding to her nothing collection of “once in a lifetime.” Oh, to such a rush, sweat and saliva, curved necks and a mouthwatering vacation of moaning vaguely in the dark. letting you hear when I bite my bottom lip, letting you see my lipstick pallid on my lips of which are now so homogenous on your skin. Oh you, pin me behind a door, against the corner, in a restroom stall, against the tile wall, and let us withdraw from this lust soaked crevice when there’s baby steps in our hears, A doorknobs quivering, a pin dropping, an eyelash falling. . . |
