flying

you show up at the coffeehouse
in the bowling shirt you wear for your job
with a pen hanging from the collar
and if i had a dollar
for every time i think you can't get
any cuter
i'd be in a different tax bracket
altogether

we're twenty-two days old
this hot afternoon
still way too soon
to say to the word
we both think more and more
today it's hanging out under
the restaurant table
that holds your grilled chicken
sandwich
and my ice tea
i brush the hair from your
eyes
your index finger
traces circles
on my knee
it's true
the best things in life are absolutely
free
it's the bullshit
that's overpriced
