Clearly, 

                                                         I have spent my whole life

                                                         being in love with stupid 

                                                         people.

"I always say I love you when I mean turn out the light." - The Magnetic Fields 

I drank from your mouth

on the couch

and moved right in to unearthed regions

without trepidation 

***

and everything that happens

are quick grazes of intimacy

& everything else is romantic

while sitting alone in a well lit room
