We have many
Some about nothing
Others covering more of nothing
She likes to tease me
I let her
I like to provoke her
She lets me
She is my chicken little
I am her big bad wolf
Neither real
I am her chicken little
She is my big bad wolf
Real to each other
We talk about why the world is flat and the sky is the color of purple mimosas on Tuesday
How by Friday it's round and the sky well the sky is any color we want it to be
I tell her about my childhood
About the day I discovered that ants do bite little chocolate girls
And how bees love to nibble on their sweetness.
She's caramel sweeter than me
Nicer than me
She…
She should be bitten and nibbled on daily
She goes into detail on the merits of the regular ingestion of fruit and fiber
And Jesus and love and women being right and oh so wrong
I agree
We talk about youth, her youth.
Old age, my age
Both still learning
We speak on sex
We write on sex
We come back to sex
She pays attention and knows I love to dance…
With her
I pay attention when we are dancing
Pay attention to how we sway together
Comfortable
Sexual
We come back to sex
Talking
Texting
Teasing
Tantalizing
Our mental
State of being
We reach
We stretch
We push…
Each other
Write me
Write for me
Give me something
That's you
Only you
Can feed me
Me and My
Punk
Talking under our rainbow umbrella…umbrella
