I Was Watching
Always watching.
When you both swam in coke
And blankets, pizza boxes
Basketball animals cheering their coos
And the log-swatch in between the ball’s bouncing
At the live games
Or the flash of car lights,
And screams, to
“Get of out the car!”
But, I was always watching.
Cavities in my teeth
Cavities in bathroom doors,
Where I am nudged between urine and home-owner charm
Cavities in bathroom doors,
Cavities in my teeth
But, I was always watching
“Get out of the car!”
And screams, to
Or the flash of car lights.
At the live games
And the log-swatch in between the ball’s bouncing
Basketball animals cheering their coos
And blankets, pizza boxes
When you both swam in coke
Always watching.
