Congratulations
on your maturation:
now our lust's "love,"
not infatuation.

Romantic "deficits,"
confiscatorial "trends" --
**** your "benefits" --
where's my dividends?

I tried to really kiss you,
not co-impregnate a tissue.

I must confess
I love that dress --

more or less!

-- I'd die for you (you said)
-- I'd mumble you in bed.

you  me  us  me
us-me-you  you-me-us-you-me-you
us-me-us-­meyouyou-us-youyouyou
youyou-us-me-youyouyouyouyouyouyou!
you-me-­us-us-me-me-me --

Three coins in the fountain?
Who in hell's been counting?

Nod, smile; I'm playing along
while they're "playing our song."

9
Monogamy
demands its peephole:
Maybe we should see
other people.

she'd hired a lawyer."
