I
just added squiffy to the dictionary
I’d
do anything for Kat because as muses go she’ll never go the way of the dodo
Soulmates
really can and do exist in this shattered glass World Gone Wrong contagion of minuses and more disorienting pluses
We
stick together like Velcro or Velveeta Cheese
It
all makes sense and when it doesn’t I take a deep breath and close my winsome eyes
Let’s
go to an art museum together and gaze at each other for the fine examples of modern
expressionism that we both are
When
you’re feeling queasy and squiffy I want to take care of you like no one has
taken care of you before
I
wish to wait on you hand and foot and when those parts are attended to taking
care of any other lingering maladies hanging around your neck like an albatross
with the whooping cough
I’m
now imagining us both in our favorite pajamas making forts out of our blankets
and making shadow puppets with what’s ever on hand
This
poem is getting silly because that’s how I imagine you when you’re right as
rain and feel up to conquering the world or at least ordering carryout
You
make me sing and I desire to make you sing before it’s too late and all of the
best songs have been taken by Karaoke enthusiasts
I
just added squiffy to the dictionary and it made me smile like you make me
smile each and every day with your soulful predilections for always keeping the
heid no matter how fair puckled you are
