Toilet Paper
|
“Toilet paper.”
That was your answer On what our first purchase will be After we move in together. “And new bedding.” Which I find completely sensible As that pink one I have doesn’t suit you. It gives away you’re sleeping somewhere else Although in it, you seem like covered with Some new, fair skin. And I don’t want you to be somewhere else When we find our here and now. But tell me – do you think that under bedding That suits both dreamers One dreams only shared dreams? And which apartment dreams of us, Of how we fill it with paintings and books, Put towels on racks, dress it in The smell of curry and wheat beer on our evenings off? |
