The Good Hedonist
The good hedonist says, “I don’t mind
holding your hand through this crisis,
or playing some other part.” He can
lay awake all night watching over her,
or make love like a lover, only, finally
he will leave in the morning
like a vacume cleaner repair man
going back to the shop.
Never call him on the off day,
he won’t answer or if he does
he’ll be nonchalant, a time
for everything and everything
in it’s time. The good hedonist
is a wonderful lover but hard
to find on other occasions.
He says, "never mind."
