eBuLLieNce deFiNed

we are ebullience defined
definitely
defiantly
before you
I tricked myself into believing
ebullience was a shopping trip
or a day that was less hellish than usual
thanks to a fast food order done right
or a fight that ended before the lights
went out
no
I've lost my tolerance for bullshit
and you love me for it
from here on out I'm taking the hard route one honest
step at
a time
we aren't together for consolation
or companionship
my enkidu you
you delight me endlessly
wearing my dog tags to work
our friends think we're crazy
we leave them to their wine and loud music
and close the door
keeping the real fun
to ourselves.
