A Classic Example Without Exactly Knowing

you sit your novel down
and focus on me when it
should be about you

i begin to ask you about 
your day, but you shush 
me and just let me know 
that you know

i know that God smiled on
me when the pain you expose 
perfectly and correctly once again
fully subsides

together we finish and fall asleep
quietly....looking forward to a full
day of joyously careless freeriding
