CAUTION: CONTAINS THE WORD MASTURBATE.
Email from my friend Alana
By Carol Valera Jacobson
December 2008
(I met Alana in 1999 when we were both English students at Metro State College. She had been a pole dancer in Grand Junction when she was young. Then, as now, she is writing erotica.)
This is cool,
I think.
She is writing erotica.
She is re-creating herself
Again with a raw honesty
that intrigues me,
frightens me,
makes me wonder.
I read her lines:
walking home through snow
that clings to her jeans,
stripping down in a warm room,
masturbating,
coming in 51 seconds.
This frightens me
a little bit because
I think to myself,
that could be me.
Oh
-my
-god!
That could be me
coming home through the deep snow,
stripping down, masturbating,
making dinner for my husband,
reading a book,
then
sleeping curled up around him.

Masturbation is a cool word.
Masturbation is a sweet and necessary act.
And: I was a stripper in Denver, the Diamond Cabaret, 1991-1996. But a strip club is a strip club and a pole is a pole, darling. :-)
Loved this poem, you know.
