Go Around

Here we go again
Same name, same place
You in your green shirt
From the picture
Gave you a hug
on the corner
there’s an order
to these things

Put a bracelet
on your wrist and
we walked to the bridge
looking at
keychains and
license plates
First dates in
the summer are
always sweaty

Touching your back
with my fingers
knees touching too
as we sat
sipping
Aperol spritz
I said, surprise me
I said, things are better
the second time
around

I felt the chill
from the fan
above my head
as you called me
princess, all girls are

Tattoos with ex friends
extra faded from
three laser treatments
and no one likes to be
a King all the time

It was dark
where we sat
eating salmon and
You were already
drunk after dinner
and the champagne
was not even
my favorite part

We went back
to my place
for the private concert
you rapped Daftpunk
and I laughed
always at the same parts
and the kissing
was good for me

Was it good for you?

I didn’t like when
later
you told me
you were really drunk
when we had sex
and I don’t even
know if you came
inside me

Did you come?

And will you come
back once
the car is gone?

I value honesty
and insecurity
but thinking about orgasms
makes me nervous
and nicknames
and laughing
and watching movies
in French
I want to do it
again without
the yeast infection
