dream affair
vivacious in her approach
I hold my exhale
“babe, we shall bounce outa here”
I release in response
“grab your ass and drag it along”
I watch her devour the floor
“tell her you need your wings”
I glance to my left
“man wasn’t meant for sittin”
I drop my eyes
“ohh I love this song”
I debate a lifetime in a second
“well”
I arise and push my chair in
“sweetheart he’s gotta go”
I don’t look back, just ahead
“come on, babe, earth’s got a full one on”
I watch her cross the marble
“pops….mommas got to bolt”
I smile, shrug and nod at her direction
“toodles it’s been nice, adios”
I sway into her heaven
“hurry, sunny boy here soon”
I reach for her outstretched hand
“gotcha”
I roll over and hit snooze
