The first boyfriend smelled
like smoke and leather,
just like each one since.
Sixteen years passed,
still the same reaction,
this scent trails like a
musky orchid
and my lips tingle,
my stomach floats.
Smoke and leather guys
end up smelling like
bile and rubbing alcohol
and take too many drugs
and think they're turning into skeletons
and cut their arms with broken glass.
A man should smell
like pollen and cut grass,
like car parts,
and jobs,
and a good sweat.
