doris day

you've made me doris day.



look what you've done to me!

i despise writing poems about domesticity.

what i really want is to grab you & shake you,

slap & kiss you

until you hate me.

that makes life more

interesting. that keeps lovers on their toes.



who wants to hear stories about couples that actually get along?

who fall asleep in each other's arms? who

can't eat when they stare at each other too long?



who wants to hear the bedtime story of

a

stable gay male relationship?!

isn't that a fabulous fantasy? wouldn't that just bore me to sleep.



you just wait.

you'll see.



i'm sure that soon enough

all those clichés we tolerate out of love

will become too much for us to bare.

picket fences, one dog, two cats & three adopted vietnamese children.

fuck that.



let's just live in my bed for a year or two...

accept that we're crazy...& run with it.
