Hey, guess what?
A cannoli
Is a cannoli
Not a joke
It's not smut
It's a goddamn cannoli
Not whatever you're thinking
And I'm sitting here blinking
Because
There's nothing unholy
About a cannoli
Unless you make it so
Same with my body
There's nothing funny
About respecting my space
Respecting my face
And that's all
I have to say
Just get out of my way
Okay?
Understanding comes slowly
It's a goddamn cannoli.
