Double Entendres

hoping to get aroused

knowing it could be a ruse 

I choose to follow it anyway

it’s not everyday

I get a chance to smile

in fact it’s been a while

so I carry on 

speaking in double entendres

waving a wand with hopes

my spells will cast out

to catch a live one

and reel in some fun

but the waiting

is excruciating

while the bait hangs out

and gets tangled up

when I start looking 

for implied meaning

when no other meanings

are sewn in-between in

the lines I’m reading from

so I look dumb

raising my eyebrows

to a confused crowd

like I’m in on a twist

that doesn’t exist

but I insist I’m hip

to the jive as I slip

into a zone alone

of imagined entendres
