Propensity

We stayed up late

and talked about men

and their sexual propensities

their love of oral sex and golden showers

their lust for hatred, violence and tragedy

some couldn’t stand it

some got up and left

some were frowned upon

some were hated

but then there was this hopeful boy

sitting in a corner

sipping his whiskey

slipping himself a vicodin

preparing to dream about

buxom women with naughty mouths

the vivid fantasies of twenty somethings

confined to women and money

obsessed with large cars

dying for a cause, and living for love

little men

their beautiful nightmares.
