J.J. Campbell

hopefully she bites

trace her tattoos
with your tongue

fresh ink tastes 
like caviar

she seems 
fascinated
that you’re 
a poet

this search took 
how many years

play it cool
hopefully
she bites

hopefully she 
wants to play 
the game over 
drinks

told me i looked 
handsome after
cutting my hair

flattery will get 
you places in 
this world
