(nothing else
will do),
satisfied
with that which is good,
ordinary
is a verb to you.
They say—
the also-rans
rarely make the news.
But you know the also-rans
are the ones who will watch it,
unembarrassed
to find themselves
otherwise unoccupied.
I'd like to inhabit
the warm flesh of
your quiet
(IKEA-blue,
so soft it's almost edible);
I'd like to steal
more time—
and fill it up
with you.
