Ray Heinrich - Poem




and by now we both have waterproof mascara running with our tears
i can't believe it is me tasting your makeup
after we both promised so many times to be primates 
straight from the jungle 
a tarzan and a jane
but here is my shaved skin 
kissing your shaved skin
that continues up between your legs
as our deodorants blend
into a slick mess 
and by now we both 
have waterproof mascara 
running with our tears
