Our shoes are still piled high in the corner
As we ourselves are in bed
Clumsy and cute but with collective resignation
Our clothes in artlessly incriminating puddles
Divided floorbound like playing cards
The crude magic of arousal
Tricks us into losing them, one by one
With no respite and no mercy
Until we're robbed blind enough
To then borrow whatever remains

Our shoes are still piled high in the corner
As we ourselves are in bed
Clumsy and cute but with collective resignation
Our clothes in artlessly incriminating puddles
Divided floorbound like playing cards
The crude magic of arousal
Tricks us into losing them, one by one
With no respite and no mercy
Until we're robbed blind enough
To then borrow whatever remains
