Circles & Squares


It was pleasant dream and was quite simple in its structure
I was living with two women who were both writers
Whilst I was an unsuccessful artist
Both the women liked each other and they liked me
Which I accepted without thought
As it was our poverty that brought us together
Then to my surprise
I found myself pinned to the kitchen table
By Gabrielle who was the less attractive of my house mates
She was riding me quite vigorously and was lost in her own pleasure
But this recreation had not been instigated by me
And I could not recall its origins
Eleanor my other house mate was sitting in a chair near the window
And was vigorously taking notes on a purple pad
She was attractive to look at but her manner was abrupt
It was as I was considering this that Gabrielle covered my eyes with her damp hand
She then faded noisily into her lonely orgasm
I awoke later in a lemon bath
A year later after the success of her book Circles & Squares both of the women moved out
And purchased a house in the south of our shared city
I am now alone in this large house with my paints and canvasses
Awaiting my success
