4 u

id write like a poet

babe

fuckin graceful and flowery

taking xtra time to browse

thesaurus.com

and mind my ps & qs

(philosophy and quips)

i promise ill get a start 

on that in my next 

turn of phrase

just gimme like a week

2 change

4 u

id buy new sheets

on my moms amazon account

before we even go

on a second date

before i even brought 

u home

im thinking about 

proper bedding

4 u

id straighten my hair

which i haven’t done

since high school

and i only do it really 

because you told me 

it was soft one time

plus

when we play

on my specially purchased amazon sheets

my natural wave

gets so tangled 

that when you finally pull me up

into u again

i greet 

a complete blonde angel

as a raven mess

4 u

id get in a twenty year old car

and drive past the sign 

that reads

no gas for a hundred miles

BEWARE

there are snakes 

and bad water

and creeps at rest stops

but thats fine

cause ur happy with

all my music selections

4 u

id pen my best 

luv letter

id even do it myself

from my own heart

not consulting

the largest

language learning model

to add a seasoning

maybe just maybe

id sneak in tasty little

bits of myself

for you to eat

complete with

dirty fingerprints 

on the margins

4 u

id be a recumbent wife

barefoot 

evacuated womb

cauterized actually

a useless appliance

serving u in the fashion of 

the modern age

with my mind

4 us 

id dream of more

than a fat wallet

and hollywood

instead of holidays

and weddings and big funerals

dumbed down grocery lists

id settle in

on your arm hanging

for dear life

and the thrill 

of regular pursuits
