we should've just stayed in bed
it snowed,
i stayed in bed.
it came down, soft and slow,
drifting on the horizon,
i stayed in bed.
people walked in and out,
bikes rolled by,
we stayed in bed.
a note passed under the door,
after furiously, complative scribbling,
we stayed in bed.
a conversation through the sheet of a wall,
we stayed in bed.
the eminant future loomed over my head:
the awkward minutes finding clothes,
silently shoving feet, hands, arms, legs into fabric.
an uncomfortable meal,
an unceremonious breaking of bread.
i talk of drinking too much to hide my discomfort.
i waited for you to make the first move.
i left once i realized waiting was futile.
we should've just stayed in bed.
