The Hardest Thing
we're here again
you in denim skirt
shrinking against long legs
I in (imaging) nothing
sheen & glisten in moonlight
interior car lamp light
tan
crimped high hair & bangs
blue eyeliner
mascara
easy to manuever
baggy sweater
boots both pleasant
left
on or off
coco chanel palpable
down the smooth of the neck
wet full
shut eyed wine cooler passion
tongue on tongue
w/ hint of marlboro kiss
synchrotizing deep breaths
hands searching instictively
sharing talents without even looking
yes ma'am
not too many fails for a blind man
to hop that curb
when he got his reed straight
what a telecommute you give to
adolescent lust with reaquianting
idioms of San Joaquin Valley dreams
your laugh reaches out
to pat me on the head
how to knit the nights into one
without the rising of the sun
I would never go home again
(out all night)
you see, I've thought of the impossible before
me and you
before Mexico
before mentioning retiring at 50
and living off interest
off the coast
with maids & gardeners
your smile fulfilling as you dig
your grace teaching as you fold
your hand moving from the top of my head
to slap my face
All you asked for was a diamond ring
All you asked for was that I be impractical
All you asked for was that I live the SLO life
