one night

after hooking up

i get hungry

so i grab myself

a snack

and quietly slip

back into bed

so as not to disturb

what’s his name

i guess i drift off

because

the next thing i know

i’m hearing

“what the fuck”

and there he is

holding up

a half-eaten

chicken drumstick

looking at me

as if there’s

something in his bed

that shouldn’t be there

-boy, i’m even better the next day

-dawn
