I'm reading this poem
I'm reading this poem upstairs
next to the cat box
so eloquent
I'm reading this really fucking good poem
The kind where your heart tenses up
Like when the strings get heavy and
the two main characters marry someone
they're not supposed to
in a montage with the background music
I downloaded and put on a mix
just because your hand squeezed mine
a little bit harder
and I almost spilled the Milk Duds.
I'm reading this really fucking good poem
upstairs
and it's hard to believe you won't want me
to trip down the stairs and read it to you.
