got the tee shirt

had a new tee shirt made
the other day
says
'i survived the winter five'
(yet again)

there are certain days each year
that an 'us'
(as opposed to an 'i' and 'you')
absolutely knows
beyond any shadow of a doubt
that 'we'
are gonna get sex

fiery consuming passion
hot monkey love sex
that begins in the beginning
until someone finally gives and begs
please please turn down the pheromones
before one of 'us' gets hurt

after the dust settles
(sometimes it takes longer than others to develop the rut)
and familiarity gives way
to taking 'each other' for granted
(already the separation begins, 'we' just don't know it yet)
'each other' still knows that birthdays
holidays and 'our' anniversary
are all sacred sex time
(is it still making love then?)

Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve, Valentine's
four of my five
with October birthday thrown in the midst
are crossed off now
survived,
barely.
(once again)
