The cats beep,
Wife shrieks
During her
Bedded stretch,
Birds bathe
In dew
As morning falls
Into view
She’s coming.
The flickering
Drag queens
In her phone
Blistering
Her face
Two inches away
Can’t fabulous
Forever.
Soon, their
Selfie stories
Will wane shade
And she’ll sashay
Into the living room--
My coffee quaking
Ala Jurassic Park--
And death drop
Onto the couch
With a
Walloping yas.
