the historic Days of milk

We were the first men
to ever crawl back up the
utter.

We swung inside it
like couples in a
hammock.

We settled
the bends of unforgiving
intestine.

We cheated at
poker.

We had pendulous
balls that swung like
escape.

1.
Adina,
knew three
words
in Hebrew:
money,
ice cream
and chil-

dren.

2.
Hey, I
discovered
how that
I am rather
loud, actually.

Oh yeah, and
that I,
apparently,
I invoke
Jesus.

3.

word: boobies.

I just kept
saying that, even
during sex-
talk parts,
just like that:
boobies.
