2 Poems by Ben Newell.

to be posted on backpage with naughty pic


I do, at times, consider prostitution
a viable option—


Teabagging
and taking it up the arse,
thirty minutes of degradation
for two-hundred dollars
preferable to eight hours
of the same
for much
less.

plug for a porn novel

I’m issued the ISBN;
this and a form
to fill out,
providing input for the art dept.
as they begin designing the cover,
things I want
and
things I definitely
do not
want. 
Given the plot and characters,
I want
a nineteen-year-old
college slut
in cotton panties,
preferably an ass shot
with said slut
glancing over a shoulder,
eye contact
with potential readers,
reeling them in
with the promise
of more. 
I definitely do not want
a Fabio facsimile
with high cheekbones,
washboard abs
and
long flowing locks
the color of
sun-baked
wheat.
Of course,
the final decision
isn't mine to make;
the art. dept
wields the power
in this relationship.
I’m just the writer
of dirty book
978-1-61160-736-9;
like
an inmate,
I’ve got my number
and
a solid idea
for
my next
tattoo.
