My sex life is
what I call normal,
if only slightly kinky.
I have a friend who I have an arrangement
to see when the want arises.
She is a prostitute and
one of my best friends.
She keeps telling me
that I am very special to her.
We are not exactly straight-laced
(neither of us),
but we know what we are doing and
we are both consenting adults and
that’s really all that needs to be said.

In the past I have been
betrayed by people,
workmates,
who I once trusted -
all in the name of
playing a practical joke,
to humiliate and
embarrass me about my private life.
I don’t like what they did to me,
but I don’t despise them for it either.
(I don’t have the time or
energy to hate people).
I think that their actions only go
to prove just how shallow
they really are.
I don’t work with these
people any more
(because they have moved on to other jobs).
