April
copyright 2019 Michael Walker
Dots her I's with tiny hearts
In letters on yellow stationary...
This was romance at first but now
It's not
And I have to kiss her so
She doesn't write so much...
This was ROMANCE at first
But now
It's just a BORE
Watching her do flag corps routines
With her dummy rifle
Watching her come down in Dr. Dentons
To scold the cocker spaniel
This WAS romance at first
Now it's just one side of an Air Supply record
Played over and over, ad infinitum...
April I'm sorry I'm just a shit I know
I'm just waiting for your father and brother to go
So I can slip my hand under your Polo shirt
So I can slip my hands into your jeans
So I can get you down on your canopy bed
Write my illegible replies.
