make me feel good
come back tomorrow and make me feel good again
then come back again and make me feel even betta
maybe after that, i’ll participate and make you feel great
for right now
just make me feel good

a feel-good to help me out of this slump
get me over this hump
ain’t got time for no chump
ain’t got no words for half a stump
get down to the biddy
straight up
right from the jump
just make me feel good

feelin’ that?
feelin’ me?
can you work wit dat?
doesn’t matta
this ain’t ‘bout you
it’s ‘bout me
my rocks
my steam
my edge
just wanna feel good

an arrangement,
an agreement
an understanding ‘tween me and me
you are allowed to share in mute sweaty sticky conversations
by the front door
on the living room floor
kitchen counter
but not in the bedroom
only if fully clothed
exposing just enough to visually stimulate
no eye contact
no lips touching
no intertwining of fingaz
that shit don’t make me feel good

sensitivity ain’t got no place in a feel-good situation
bottle of pseudo romance only patronizes
candles, oils, toys, tubes of lube only irritates
getting’ me out of the mood is the goal
stay focused
just make me feel good

you can leave after you’re done
matter of fact, i insist
a feel-good afterglow is a time for solo reflection
tears not meant for you
not even over you
quiet rage in motion disconnected from the moment that involved you
and that makes me feel REAL good
