J.J. Campbell- Three Poems


likes to laugh at dirty jokes

i'm looking
for a woman
that likes to
laugh at dirty
jokes

willing to
pretend that
i'm actually
a good person
and never
wrong

a classy
whore
that knows
when to wear
fishnets and
when to go
without
panties

a drinker
with a solid
liver and the
ability to be
the designated
drunk driver

a dirty mind
that needs to
jump right in
mine and go
dance naked
in the streets

i'm looking
for a woman
that can bring
herself to tell
me she loves
me and actually
mean it
 
 
no longer there

i once
looked
in your
eyes and
noticed
that my
heart was
no longer
there

i've been
chasing
shadows
ever since
 
 
the jackass in the back of the class

sleeping dogs
should be left
alone

and married
women should
never tell single
poets just how
good they think
they really are

nothing good
comes from the
next thirty seconds
in either situation, 
trust me

but you must ask
yourself do you
want to be the kind
of person that asks
for permission or do
you want to seek
forgiveness instead

i was always the
jackass in the back
of the class that said
he would never ask
for either

that was the first time
in my life i was told i
had the potential to be
a sociopath

now there's one
compliment i will
cherish forever
