i coax him out of bed in the morning with the words
"coffee and a raise"
he gave me his most prized possession of all time
it's a t-shirt from lord knows how long ago
a strange sort of blue
beastie boys
atwater basketball association
it smells old and musty like books that have set for decades on shelves
it is one of the greatest aromas in the world
he's got a little valley in the middle of his chest
it's the perfect size for the bottom edge of the palm of my hand
i put it there when we're getting ready to sleep
i kiss his shoulder and "click" my hand into place
he laughs but he holds my other hand all night and when
i try to get free
he wraps himself all the way around me
sometimes he squeezes me so hard i think i'll pass out
strange days are upon us
he told me not to spend any money
but i went into cumberland farms for a snapple
and there was a BEST OF CREAM cd on the counter display for sale
i had to have it
i'm sure he'll understand
