I see you still
Looking for the next place to lay your
“head”
Sending out scouts
Looking for legs you can spread
Chasing waterfalls
Swimming in streams
When you aren’t even
sure they clean
Looking like a clown
Sipping and slurping
Here and there
I hope you don’t
Drown or choke
On all that
Random pubic hair
Wondering why I turn my head
When you come in for a kiss
It’s because I know you not
Sucking only
On my lips

Spent my night reading love poems
Waiting for you to acknowledge me
In the other room doing whatever
Listened to you do
Everything just to avoid
Laying here next to me

Heard the tv go off
Then the tap tap taping
Of you on your device
Guess you think I am here sleeping
Not knowing I hear you
Clicking away after I retire
Every fucking night

I fall asleep to the
Annoying clicking chatter
Of whatever goes on in the other room
I guess I could get up and investigate
But that would lead to you ...
