Emergency phone booth number 587,
I stopped to masturbate after I remembered
how my wife looked when she was much younger.
She was the prettiest of the cold war survivors,
always fucking unprotected,
all sorts of extensions and openings
that i was interested in.
Knees touching knees,
elbows touching elbows.
We made love in the grass tunnel
and ate insects with plastic silverware.
She would laugh off the ants in
the cracks of my teeth and kiss me
sarcastically,
but we aren't children anymore,
I don't think.
we watch dramatic films,
order chinese and
over tip.
We drink wine out of coffee mugs
toasting health insurance and
high credit scores.
We no longer waste words on sentiment,
I think she still loves me,
but in a contemptuous sense.
