someone

liked my boots today.

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?
