in today's news

two pigeons fight for
buffalo wings disturbing
nature's order, me

status update, 8:05 EST

currently humbled
by crippling garlic breath
and empty wallet.

how we hug in our land.

we do not cuddle

here in our bed, cause it is

too darn hot and the

covers get twisted

and we feel trapped. yet in

the quiet of the night

our hungry fingers

scuttle across boundaries

to nuzzle and knot;

clandestine meetings

unbeknownst to our bodies

still stiff with slumber.
