i wore a long shirt
with a grey jacket
and a black coat
and a red belt round my waist
a pair of dark straight jeans
that slide into two, tall green rubber boots
chalky and beaded with morning
adorned with silver buckles
and quickly splashing through
the wet dips in the foursquare sidewalk
she came just before me
and said i had great boots
and smiled a smile
that i could match
so i said thank you
andtwosecondslater
turned around
to see if you were looking
and remembering
these things are made of dreams.
more recent news
i found an ant
and squished it
and then smelled my
formic acid fingers
just for you.
that's probably a
weird thing to say.
what i mean is
i think you gave me ants.
in my pants.
oh my god
too far too far.
seriously though
i never knew that about ants
until you told me
who knew to smell
a dying ant
and how curious!
would jew marry me?
agent scully?
