Exquisite Requisite
The next time I fall in love,
you can keep the soulful looks,
the glib tongue
the drugging kisses
the knees of jello
the dumb stupid love songs
you always hated
that suddenly sound wise---
keep it all
in exchange for one thing---
the next one must have
not a cute butt
not a nice car
not a fat paycheck
and not a major cod
but a heart,
fully functional
with room in it for me.
No other need apply.
