For Halloween this year, I am giving you
my naked body. Well, not so much giving
as showing. Of course my Lady Godiva wig
will tastefully cover all of my important
parts with its cascading polyester curls,

Until you part my legs and earnestly
inform me that you are my steed. For this
reason, I hope you will be dressed as
altruism, or at least good sex.

Because nothing takes the edge off
an awkward utterance made in the throes
of passion like falling asleep
in the arms of a strong man in a witty
costume, with your legs tangled in
a blond hairpiece.
