The Kama Sutra of
Daniel Plainview
It was rude of me to say
fingering you was like
fishing in tar; I mixed
my similes and I’m sorry.
But how many of your ex’s
were dinosaurs?
Was your love a meteor
that the atmosphere
gnawed into an Aerosmith
power ballad?
Close your eyes. America
may need you to restock
their crude oil supply
so please, take one
for the team.
I will be your derrick;
let’s fill as many barrels
as we can.
