This is not Magic

[Tiger the Lion]

This is not Magic

this is breakfast cereal
and tuna sandwiches
packed for lunch

this is a long day at work

this is too tired
to make dinner
and a credit card
that may or may not
squeak out one more pizza

this is your lover
still working on her phone
while you jerk off
in the shower

this is you slinking
into bed for polite kisses
and I-love-yous

this is her not sleeping
and you not sleeping
and neither admitting it

this is the alarm clock
