(motorcycle)

My math teacher rides a motorcycle.
The last two guys I fucked ride motorcycles.
The song on the radio is called motorcycle.
My dreams are wrecked with motorcycles.
I want to ride a fucking dinosaur of two wheels
          screeching and throwing rocks and dust and
          scrawling equations down the highway.
Any motorcycle will do. I want to hold my own life
          thrusting and throbbing between my thighs,
          not someone else's music sighing in my ears,
          not someone else's life dying on my belly

This was considered by my professors as the best poem I ever
wrote. Who am I to argue with PhD's? Won some contests,
made me some money, and I have never shown it to my mother,
but I recite it any chance I get.
