Full-Length Daydream

I smoke a blunt
barricaded from the harsh sunlight
by a striped canopy.

You're taking a shower,
I daydream of full-length mirrors,
and soapy brown skin.

The post card in my hand
depicts the Roman Colosseum.
Gladiators are still hopelessly fighting time.

It's 1985
the world, as usual,
spins on like a tossed coin.

Make love while you can.
Find the lady in the shower,
wherever she is,

don't just sit there!
