ipping off a nipple<br />

against the bark<br />

Took it off like s<strong>and</strong>paper<br />

I said<br />

She pinched it again<br />

gentle this time<br />

It's there now, she says<br />

Sure, I say, but from eight<br />

to seventeen, I was a one nipple<br />

wonder<br />

It came back about the time<br />

I grew my awesome mullet<br />

Of course, we both know<br />

I'm not really<br />

thinking about anything else<br />

I'm only tell this story<br />

so she'll rest her head<br />

on my chest<br />

Sometimes, I still feel it<br />

I say, as she's falling back to sleep<br />

like an amputee might<br />

A ghost nipple<br />

crying out<br />

right where the new<br />

one is.<br />
