last night, while i slept
i dreamt.
i dreamt i was in bed
covered in spiders.
i didn't want them to hurt me
so
i asked
"if you do not bite me
i will not swat."
and
they
agreed.
eventually
their legs started to tickle.
so
i asked another favor
"please could you tread lightly?"
and
they
agreed.
soon after i woke.
went to the kitchen
where
the women i bedded with
stood
smoking
drinking coffee.
"could you please make me some toast?"
and
she
said
"make your own fucking toast."
women
should
be more like the
spiders.
