Paw on Your Lap
Remember the funniest place we ever made love
a pair of economy seats on an overnight to London
we imagine nobody noticed…how hilarious
what a thing to remember for fifty years
said the old woman
Poured upward I'm a slender jade-green tube
whose tip is swollen and delicate…
although I am half asleep barely a bud
let the wind touch me tenderly with its tongue
said the tulip
Under the table my nose nudges your shoe
toss the ball I return it increasingly moist
walk in the door I admire your crotch confess
your species too craves touch…paw on your lap
said the dog
