What do you want... a cookie?

"I do have a poem that appeared in my first chapbook, summer 1983, that blew it all out of the water, as the poem describes me 'going down' on a girl I knew while we were riding to work one morning, and I used the word for vagina that starts with a 'p' in the poem, one line in the poem states that I ate it as she drove... my wife of course read it. We split up for months, but I just now had it dawn on me that it might have been this poem, 'Jo Cairo', depicting an event that did not happen with us, as almost always it was me getting the head, since most of the time I was driving.... My first son, Clay, was only five years old in 1983, but of course he would soon read my poetry book, and wonder 'Did dad eat a cat?'" 

From "Will Dockery: The Atlanta Years -- (1980/1983)."
