Fixation

You taste like a cigarette.

When you called my phone and asked me to come over

I could tell that you were smoking one, just by your voice--

That’s when my mind saw you, as perfect as a television picture

 

You and your utopian profile view

Your unshaven features are rough against my own porcelain face

I look up at you and wonder, how long until we are here again?

You and I, in this room, with these lights that are dimmed to perfection
