your haggard confidant

showing the wear

of those easy college years

your blanket once white

has become a grayish rumple of a bed cover


lying underneath

your haggard confidant

i'm pondering all its flaws from the inside

and i must admit

it's growing on me


your face pressed to mine

our legs are interlocked

in a way i'll never see

we've kicked off your old friend again

it's a complete tangle at our feet


for a fleeting moment

this mistreatment makes me sad

but you and I too hot for it now

too high to be bogged down

by sentimentality
