This Would Be My Pleasure

Hand typed on to 6x6” recycled sturdy card stock

There is no such thing as a guilty pleasure

because pleasure knows no guilt

only people assume that posture

For Eve, the fruit

was not an apple

& pleasure was not the sin

God only noticed

once she wore her shame

across her gleaming skin

This world is strewn with cruelties

so I won’t hesitate in my delight

I shall reap my joy from wherever it grows
