1 to 1,000

Women take so much damn time and energy

it’s really a wonder I’m still alive.

They say one woman can

energize the soul and satisfy a field of bees with a pinch of pollen;

I wouldn’t know about that,

but I can tell you that a thousand women

will trample your guts

and leave you destitute

with a penny at the bar.

I’m fine with leading into them.

It’s the escaping I can’t seem to work through,

and every case seems a worse bit of romantic

rigor mortis than the last,

like we’re working our way toward the final

race of the day at Arlington Downs.
