Shakespeare's Monkeys

Infinite Monkeys. Infinite Typewriters.

Starla tastes of strawberries «   new stuff «  

I don't smoke

If I smoked, I would lean across the table right now,

(one soft brown arm decorated with bangles)

to push my cigarette into the almost overflowing ashtray

and so that you could get a good view down the front of my shirt.

well i do smoke but i dont need an excuse to flash you.

this is a lovely image... not just b/c i know you wrote it and therefore it conjures up pleasant images. its.. coy.

i wrote coy and thought in my head LIKE A FISH. which makes no sense.

There's a world of nuance and suggestion in this little poem. Well done, indeed.
