This is great. You go girls. Secretaries should steal all they can. Then run. Run like the wind, you hear me!

The whole idea of loyal secretaries is just such upper class stupidity. Have any of these Lawyers at Skadden, Arps ever been a secretary? Do they know what humiliation really is?

I actually was a secretary for a lawyer at Skadden Arps for about 4 months. She was one of the nice ones. And she was absolutely crazy and demanding.

New poem:

Kiss or Kill

It's like a cut I lick

red like the velvet dress
Maria wore that night outside the bar in november
she refused to wear her jacket
she said it clashed
her goose pimples
were like braille
I wanted
to touch them with my fingertips

Maria kept talking under the streetlamp
she wouldn’t go back into the bar with me
to get warm
I wondered if she wanted me
to kiss her
and I wondered so hard I felt sick

her breath kept spurting out
in white clouds of syllables
from her red red mouth
shaped like a big o or maybe a zero

I just wanted to shut that red mouth
somehow
I wasn’t sure how

First


we’ve been sitting on the couch
watching TV for

My shiny skirt is pulled
I push my soft leg

Soon he will
He says he wants to


I take
my palm.

Closer, Closer, Closer, Closer
He touches

as if by accident. I trace
my white cotton panties

Kiss me

StopStopStop Stop
I know I should say

but his finger is
sweet

gentle
hot, I
I

and it feels too good to
And I rewrote one really old and yucky poem. I think it's kinda cool now, in that minimalist kind'a way.
