Quick and The Bed


Your mind to the 
left of you, in bed, with the rest
   of the furniture, 
knees drawn up to your chin
and me thinking, this is a 

fine time to remember something--
to come back again and again. 
              All manner of 
shine scouts out its source,

the light on your legs bare skin. 

   What was the joke
you did a handstand on, resting

the back of your shredded bedhead
on the windowsill? Can't remember,

but there was real brown making a 
beeline from your eyes
as you laughed 
   across the 
          punchline, delivered
Chicago-style, deadpan. 

"I don't enjoy raped pizza."

To wit: be respectful of leftovers. 
In short: make me a kiss. 
So I did.
