The Dilemma

I was being interviewed
a long time ago about
writing
and the poems
and the madness,
poverty,
war,
and nuclear proliferation.

Then they asked what I was doing
during the revolution
when the walls came tumbling down
and freedom
reigned
once again.

I said that I couldn’t
tell them,
it was too
controversial
for their audience
to hear.

They pressed me,
so I tried to be cute,
and ended up looking
ridiculous.

I told them,
it involved,
three people,
a bag of grapes,
and a suitcase.

America, just wasn’t ready
for the word

threesome.
