I remember only pieces, but I’m fairly certain it was terrible
(the poem, that is, not the fucking)
the last lines said
I want
scrambled eggs for breakfast
now, now
all this to say–
the morning after
when you asked
how do you want your eggs?
I was thinking
of the chasm between your back and my breath
as I savored the scent of our sex
and you slept,
and of your talk of Nietzsche and his goddamned
relative truth – because, truly
what the fuck am I
relative to you
anyway?
and of the whistling squeal in your laugh
and whether (so I might relish rather than regret its inevitable absence)
I could come to loathe it.
over easy
I offered
more as a wish
than as a reply
Good work
