I ignore you, Test Seat,
thinking I am too good
pretending I’m too thin
to be seen with you.
You will spite me in the end.
Unless
Maybe
I can
will you
into submission
with
my
thighs.
I want us to work.
But I get the feeling
you might not be into this.
Sheepish Ride Operator
breaks the news
It’s not a fit,
Ma’am.
Ma’am.
Fuck.
This ride is on a timer,
doesn’t care about us,
what could have been.
If you see this,
and have ditched Thigh Gap,
call me.
