J.J. Campbell

if i was a wiser man

i remember the shower
and you coming in right
as i was washing my balls

you looked me right in 
the eyes and asked may i

if i was a wiser man
i would have married 
you right there

but that kind of shit
didn’t exist in me at 
the age of 21

but the images stuck 
in my brain from that 
shower still persist a 
quarter century later

i’m pretty sure you 
and your family are 
comfortable living 
out west

i still laugh when 
you said i’d be the
perfect one to have 
an affair with since 
i was living on the 
other side of the 
country

well, here i am on 
the other side of the 
country

patiently waiting
