Do you remember that time<\/p>\n
we were picking blackberries by the side of the road<\/p>\n
and you said you would still try to save her<\/p>\n
if you had the chance, even knowing<\/p>\n
that she was half-crazy, and one quarter mean,<\/p>\n
because she was oh-so tragic<\/p>\n
and completely hot?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I don’t say all the things I think to say<\/p>\n
nor can I think of all the things I want to say<\/p>\n
in a moment like that, when you are fixing to sleep with me<\/p>\n
but still banging on and on about the one who got away.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Got away? You dodged a bullet, when<\/p>\n
she didn’t give you herpes and screw all<\/p>\n
your friends and accuse you of rape and<\/p>\n
break your things and make fun of you<\/p>\n
behind your back, but still, you are so wistful<\/p>\n
that you never got to fuck her.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And I think, but do not say<\/p>\n
that all men must be fools<\/p>\n
because, like a trail of ants to a trap<\/p>\n
you march on eagerly where other have fallen<\/p>\n
and think the safe one sour<\/p>\n
and the poison one sweet,<\/p>\n
and that, anyways, the same fare will always be there<\/p>\n
for you to come back to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
