Envy the Scarecrow

By Miss Macabre

I pull myself off the couch,
Shaky,
Soggy banana in hand,
And head toward the kitchen.

I drop the mutilated fruit
Into the trash can
As I wonder to myself,
"Why can't I do this
During sex?"

As I stare at the object
That enabled my
Self-pitying masturbation,
I wonder for the millionth time
If I have a problem.

As always,
Though usually without the fruit,
I feel sad, slightly depressed,
Mostly disgusted.

I read somewhere that
The brain is the most sexual organ.
Sometimes I wonder if getting off
Would be easier without one.

  • A former member wrote: the scarecrow.....likes bananas, too? maybe it should be skinned and eaten before tossed? this was point blank. no doubt, surprisingly face-forward and upfront..... this voice here is kinda rough on fruit, huh? well written.... has shock value in a matured way.

  • A former member wrote: awkward. artistic. funny. I'm speechless.

  • A former member wrote: well you know what they say...5-10 servings a day ;) but seriously though, this was quite the self deprecating write...intriguing
