I’m just saying
I dumped your
laundry on the bed

it was so soft
& warm & the cat
was so happy

but now it’s cold
& wrinkly & hairy
& that happens

when you leave
your shirts & undies
for three whole days

mist refracts
moonlight on
cold night
drive &
oh shit
oh shit
oh damn
dead deer

new app so shiny
electrons dancing
old ether refreshes

I’d take
a bullet
for you
but only
out of
the box
which is
to say
we need
to visit
walmart again
because we’re
out of
green peas
& pasta
which I
know you
can’t stand
but still

stiff back morning
downward dog yowls,
another nerve snarls

it’s all fun & games
until someone starts
screaming about rules

sleeping until nine
the cat meowing
another Christmas hangover
