Naked


from the ABC set Poems

Life is complicated.
People are complicated.
I am complicated.

I am a mass of second thoughts
False starts, wrong turns, dead ends.
I like men, men like me.
Things get complicated.

Naked makes it simple.
In the darkness, you see.
But in the morning,
Well it’s complicated.
Or so they tell me.

'I like men, men like me.
Things get complicated.'

So concise, yet so well put!

Thank you, that's really great to hear, much appreciated. I think sometimes things just need to be boiled down to their bare essentials.
