I remember the first time I got high


It was with a man three times my size


He was 5'6

I stand tall

5'9


We both liked coloring outside the lines.


I swear, he's better than the "average guy"

He doesn't fuck, he makes love

He gets medium instead of small fries


In his eyes, I become a girl in woman disguise


But


I guess I shouldn't have been surprised

That he had

a wife and kids

I mean

He was three times my size


He was 36

I stand tall

16


His wife was prom queen

Blond hair

Pretty-er on screen.


After the affair,

she took the kids for ice cream.


She didn't call it what it was


Statutory

           Isn't as delicate as

                                  infidelity.


But 

I guess it makes sense

           When they met

                   He was three times her size


He was a football star

She was still in junior high


When they make love he doesn't see her cry

When they fuck he doesn't see the blood run down her thighs


I smoke every day now

I always see his face when I'm high


My sobriety brings no difference

What I feel is what I see


I have psychosis

so

I fear white teeth


They remind me of the way he used to

Bite

Prod

and

Brand me


I was 13 when I first tried Hennessy

But

     He told me it was lemonade

            The kind that makes you forget yesterday


My therapist says this kind of shit isn't ok


She said I should stop smoking weed

It's making my brain see


             Things that happened when I was 15


But it's no surprise

He was 3 times my size


When I ask him why he loves my little size

He draws my heart in big red chalk

He says my love is supersize


And in his eyes,

I'm a girl in woman disguise.


His romance sleeps

           inside my pubescence

                      and 

             baby teeth.
