It Can Be A Nice Life
As long as I don't think about it
Then it's thumbs up, alright, okay Humming Artic Monkeys
Blue-cheese salad and car keys
Taffy in New Orleans
Why, it's the bees' knees Then I go shopping
See the black couple kissing
She lissome he honeyed
The line of their bodies
Joining and separating
Seaming and unzipping
Fluid as water
Streaming in blond light
He sucks on her fingers
She untwines her leg from his
An ease that tells me
They've done it once today
And will, again,
Soon, pretty soon And flower vases tumble
The sun frowns
The thumbs point down
Nothing's okay, or alright My kissing days are over
Gone the spritzy tease
My loins are un-fizzed
The bed straw-and-piss
I'm married, love's flown,
I'm flat against the wall
Every day's the same
He looks, he doesn't call One kiss I think is all
It takes for me to see
How, lacking love,
Life doesn't move.
