The Bad Love Poem.

.

Because it’s insane I think

If your toothbrush needs changing

I think

If your dentist is still good to you

Do you still walk your dog

deafened by Norwegian thrash metal on your ipod

Do you look fresh as a Chinese delicacy

When you work out

I think

If your laundry is done, waiting to be dried.

I think, this, instead of thinking

How my love, like an eggless cake,

has withered on a dvd shelf

Below the TV in the living room

Where we would dance a slow dance

On Saturdays. And make love by the couch

And squeal like children.
