the things one lives with


you won’t even remember any of this tomorrow
the advantages of being so drunk
your hopeless laments of love lost
and mourning in grief over being dumped

declarations of undying love for the woman
you otherwise say you hate so much
but you’ll remember you created a scene
and feel horrid about it at lunch

and then you’ll work magic in the kitchen
and come up with something sublime
with a meal that’s fit to feed the gods
you’ll apologize in style

and while on your fingers the smell
of the garlic you peeled will still linger
we’ll make love right here on the bed
stained with your tears for her
