According to the book of Daniel
my name means Little Willingness.
Little Willingness is sad when men
act like dicks he’s not supposed to love.
Little Willingness ends each day
washing sorrows in the river of a mouth.
Little Willingness is tired of nature’s
erectile dysfunction with joy.
Little Willingness has been hurt by the soul’s
one night stand with the body.
Little Willingness arrives with bliss
growling on the end of a leash.
Little Willingness fills the dark with praise
in the choir of anonymous lips.
Little Willingness freezes when silence shows up
to witness how loud and cold we’ve become.
