Worry about your
kids, K! I’m cool with whatev!
I have shiny shoes.

Would a gentle caress/
from a gentle man/
ease your stress?/
Maybe I can/
relax your mind/
from far away./
That, you’ll find,/
is all I can do today.

She left after my invitational request.
I, not knowing she would go
alone,
showered,
watched TV,
drank orange juice
fixed a dock,
pinched my finger,
repaired a computer.

She had
the better sunset.

Maybe the planets will
align for us
tomorrow morning.

Maybe some soon day/
I’ll learn ways to woo quiet/
enthusiastic.

It is laughable,/
(at least to me!) that I’d know /
her intimately.

Purple martins chirp./
At dusk, they soar, swoop, land near./
They are used to me.
