Not tonight, I think to myself,
although today was soothing
in it's pace.

Spending time tinkering with oven grease,
domestic moments on my knees.

Still, not tonight.  I care none for
the ache of human neediness.
I wish not to concern my feelings
with another person's wants.
I want us all to be satisfied with what we have tonight.
We can't have all our cravings.
Only the bits that fall in our lap.
