Be Jealous

Ode to the Sperm Donor.

I want you

to be jealous

of me

 

            yes jealous

            be jealous

 

I’m your seed

And I’ve grown

 

A flower soaking up the earth

 

Not so sure about you

 

You sitting in your levee

            sucking down another

cold one

            collapsing atmospheres

            same thing

 

I want you to be more like me

 

A virtuoso

A free spirit

 

Happy bullshit that gets

people like us

hired

 

Because there is no brevity in my speech

When I choose to talk

 

            Because there is no thrumming silence between my ears

            When I need to be heard

 

            When I want to do something

            I will do it

            Because I can

 

            Because I am your princess.

 

            I do what I want

 

            But I can’t make you jealous

 

 

 

of me.
