I Liked It

his hand brushed my knee
and i wanted it on my thigh, high,
hi! the rush of blood, the tension,
i liked it.
tell me about shame and fidelity
and i will tell you what it's like
to be a woman:

to work past exhaustion
on a typical day.
to change hats three times
all while receiving comments on your wardrobe.
watching the food you prepared sit on the plate.
pulling children into your bed at 2 and 4.

and having a husband interested in sex
weekly at best.
yes, i know right from wrong.
no, petting another man
at a sports bar is not acceptable behavior.
but i liked it.
