your great butt

i want you in my life
the way cocopuffs is part
of a balanced breakfast:
only an ingredient
in a balanced meal.
don't tell me a story
to clean it up,
make it uncomplicated,
when really it's just
latent apathy on the cusp
of total avoidance.
hope that attitude works
on the way to where
you're going.
another did this
very same routine,
and maybe he was sorry
when he ate his words:
"you're great but."
one day you just might
wake up, and know
what was here;
i won't be found sitting
on the edge of your bed
waiting.
