don't swing both ways, but look both ways

I went to a party
with
mostly gay men
looking for one night
stands,
hustling
the
gay
or straight

I met this
drunk black girl
from Kenya
with a thick accent
and ivory body
like
the Queen of Egypt
with ear rings
and legs that ran up
to her neck

I walked her to the
apartment
across the street
and stood
10 feet from the door

she pulled me in by
the collar and started
to unbutton my shirt

I pulled away,
but I found myself
sitting on her cheap
spring mattress
looking
stupid
with my
shirt halfway
unbuttoned
as she started to
undress

she played
god awful
music with drums
before she went
into her room and
changed
into nothing
but a
skirt

she danced
to the terrible
music and I began
to rise

I walked to the
door
but she shoved
me onto the bed,
pinned me,
and begged me
stay
I threw her off me
but the challenge
made her
want more

I told her I wasn't
over an ex
she said,
we could make this
work
I told her I was
Christian,
she pulled
a Mormon bible
and was
Christian
too
I told her I was
gay
she grabbed it,
ran to the bathroom
and screamed

I ran for the
door
but she was
faster

I tricked her into
the
bedroom
naked,
went to the
bathroom,
sneaked out
the door,
ran
to the
car
buttoning
my pants and
shirt

middle of the
street
stopped
a police car
and and covered
me in spotlight

stand right there,
don't move!
put your hands above
your head and walk
slowly backwards
to the car

two more cars
came

I was
groped for
drugs

I smiled
at the woman
in blue

do you
want to
touch me
too?
