Occasionally There Is a Fire That Runs Through My Veins

occasionally there is a fire that runs through my veins  
that makes me slink into my slinky pants  
and imagine the lust that would show in your eyes 
 
but I fall onto my  
solemn couch with a
million things to do
in the backyard of my mind

and I smell the tide of the washer
I stare down the dirty plates in the sink

and I see the beautiful blue sky
and me me me just me
and how it is  

I give you a deep kiss
and change the laundry
