dear mistress of my subconscious,

I would like to state my appreciation for letting me stay at your place last night.
with the long travel time in the dark and rain,
it would have been a nightmare if I didn't have my friends with me.
I was hoping to see you there, I had a book I was going to give.
I've been thinking about writing volumes and I can't do it without you.
I was disappointed to see that you left a note for me
on your bed
the size of a post-it.

at least you wrote on both sides.

you said you wouldn't be around
because you had a vegan friend in town
who comes around every so often
so you decided to show him a night
of passion without lights;
something he might remember you by.

the other side of your note,
the side that attempted to explain it
with a rhyme scheme...
that was, for lack of a better word, cute.

what I don't understand is
how vegans have a taste for that kind of flesh.
it's an oxymoron;
every vegan I knew never had a problem
with irony deficiencies.

I thought it best to let my friends stay on your bed.
I slept on the floor.
it made me feel down to earth.
