The Night River Phoenix Died

CAConrad

completely stoned
i'm having sex
with a man in a diner
against the restroom door
or was it against the
door to a dream since
no man could kiss
the way
i dream
his kiss
relaxed me
till i fell asleep
his tongue inside my
mouth a good two
minutes before
he heard me snore
he didn't take it well
didn't quite believe
it was the greatest
kiss of my life
i walked thru the diner
where the customers
and waitresses
knew where i had been
River Phoenix watched me
through the hole he'd chewed
in a piece of toast
i felt him read my thoughts
of walking on my knees to him
"forget it" he said "you
want to kiss me the way
i want to kiss James Dean
the kiss the dead kiss
would only put you to sleep"
"but those are my favorite kind" i said
and he slipped his tongue
through the hole in his toast
so i walked to his table
two feet shorter
on my knees
