Girlfriend

My girlfriend is pretty
Her father is hairless;
on purpose he had all the hair
removed from his body by lasers—
not his head, and I don’t know about his penis.

My girlfriend is half-Mexican,
her father, hairless, is Mexican,
and her mother is white like me.

There are small things
that bother me about life
like car insurance,
taxes, and
laundry.

My girlfriend, who is pretty,
doesn’t seem to think about
things before she has to.
She has a healthy relationship
to her future.

She has a dog too.
I don’t know if dogs
can be retarded,
but her dog looks
a little retarded
in a way that makes you want
to squeeze her eyes uncrossed.

My girlfriend’s eyes are not crossed
but I would not leave her
if they became that way.
