90 degrees and I'm
freezing in flannel pajamas
I've got 20 more minutes of plant watering to do and
when I was a kid I had an apple corer
that did my work for
me cutting whatever part of the apple
its ill positioned teeth could sink into
I roll my saturated sleeves up wishing
I had stayed asleep at least
there I could pretend
the teenage sounds of a ska mix blaring through
wasted speakers don’t really exist
darling, have you come to pass the time with me?
you have a precious little mind.
