but i started reading your book
and i dog-eared some pages
that reminded me of you.
i hope you don't mind
but i'm borrowing your car keys
to drive away from you and this and those things and that taste
that i got in my mouth
like last time.
i hope you don't mind
but i've squandered our sex life
spent my best elsewhere
and left you the scraps.
i hope you don't mind
if i beat down your love song
and hum those tunes to myself
as i ruin your day.
i hope you don't mind
if i cut off those pretty parts
praise them and water them and frame them
separate from you.
i hope you don't mind
if i forget the rest of the words
you were always so good with them
i'm sure you won't mind.
