The Chaos Of My Day
I hit the floor running
at 6:00 a.m.
Coffee Breakfast Kid
At 7:00
am hunting down the debris
that everyone else needs
to function
at 9 am
I have 45 minutes
to call my own
maybe a shower
or a quick conversation
but more likely
a checkbook to balance,
and dammit all---
i thought I paid that bill
last week.
But in between
the domestic battles
with socks, underwear
and mortgage payments
you pop up,
surprise me with a smile
or a quick ardent kiss
and vanish
just as my lips
begin to savor
the tasty distraction.
I feel your eyes,
sense you smile
and if I'm not damned careful
will almost notice
your hand brushing me
with sweet persistence.
I must be younger
than the calendar claims
because right now
miles from me
i got a sixteen year old grin
a twenty year old desire
and a man
who makes me feel
like thirty doesn't even
know my name yet.
