Dishes in the Sink


Dishes in the Sink

Do lovers think about the dishes in the sink?
Or if the toilet seat is up or down?
Do lovers concern themselves with dust motes?
Or dirty clothes on the floor?
Do lovers expect silk sheets?
Or  daydreams to come true?

Love has dirt under its fingernails.
And sometimes passes gas.
Love is not aloof.
Or over there or somewhere else.
Ready to be used like a mop, a book,
A puzzle, a mirror, a lamp or a flower.
