taxi.jpg12 weeks of longing and loneliness barely overcome

you beg silently please lay here entwined with me as one

but he jumps up immediately after he comes

mumbles an apology and straight for the bathroom he runs

looking for a washcloth

he needs to get your scent off

jump in the shower and rinse off

while you think of a way to blow the expense off

so with no longer any need to pull the pretense off

he comes back in the bedroom and you peel three tens off

hand them to him as he puts the rest of his things on

and you beat off with his washcloth as soon as he’s gone
