REVERB

He's an echo
in my life
here again
and then
gone
Always when
I need Oh
excuse me
want him
there the most
When I call
out his name
he returns


TA DA

Like a Genie in a bottle
my every desire fulfilled
and all I have to do
is rub


SIMPLE

Every day he would stand
at the end of his driveway
hoping she would notice him
as she drove to work
But she never would look
his way


MALL CHICK

As skanky as they come
she is a ho
Clothes tight as an alibi
Looking like she couldn't
decide what make-up to wear
so she wore it all
Stuffed into her outfit
like clothes in a shoplifting purse
The radius of her perfume
is farther than my eyesight
Closer you can smell
the bar she just left
either today or still
from last night
Walking with a fantasy
of admirers
Oblivious to the snickers or
just assuming jealousy
Her mousse has left her hair
a string of grease state
but she tosses it like a mane
and I wonder
does she cry when she realizes
how alone she really is when
they leave


THAT 20SOMETHING GUY

He creates his own rumors
but nobody will spread them
No one wants to be the source
of such obvious misinformation
He can't even tell his own lies
He has nothing to lie about
His history is all by proxy


EASILY

He takes me
to river again
My heart
as senseless
as his cock

Cheryl 'cat' Townsend

impetus

     Cheryl A Townsend used to publish IMPETUS...now she just collects the poetry and answers disgruntled mail from the senders. Ahh. She runs cat's Impetuous Books in Kent, OH...where she also pretends to be doing business. She does a lot of photography and thinks that's where all her poetic vision went. She is probably fatter than the last time you saw her.
