J.J. Campbell

a scan on her brain

listening to the
women bitch
about their
co-workers
in the next
room

my mother is
deep in a long
tube getting a
scan on her
brain

they are playing
a song by journey
for her

i wasn’t aware
my mother signed
up for torture

even as a sexual deviant

i don’t get these guys
that just can’t control
their sexual urges
around beautiful
women

now, i’m certainly not
some rich and powerful
motherfucker

but i have been around
my fair share of stunning
women

and even as a sexual
deviant

i never felt the need to
corner one and go jerk
off as she watched

now, i am very thankful
for the willing participants
i have found over the years

perhaps if we weren’t
repressed as a sexually
active society…

who am i kidding, the
problem has always
been men

too often the brain
drops to between
the legs

and nothing good
comes from that

nothing
