getting ready for work
while i listen to the cure
putting on just a little too much eyeliner
while you
lay on the bed
and watch
basketball......
God, we're so fucking different
but i can't get enough of you
you call my name in a sing song voice
and pretend you weren't watching me
dance
and wiggle
in front of that mirrior
while making sure my skin is the perfect shade of alabaster
you pull me close
hand me the pipe
and grin
like the snake must have
when eve ate that forbidden fruit
i hit
and sing
to some band you'll never listen to
you hit
and wince
that my lipgloss is on the pipe
look at me
and touch my face
murmuring softly
"you're all sparkly....i like it"
i touch your face
and wonder if we'll be together
for the lifetime that it will take
for me to count all your freckles
