perhaps it was the teeshirt
that was too short
to reach your hips
you called it your schedule
and it was obvious
you didn't wear any time
under it
just for me

or the virgina slims
rolled up in the sleeve
on the arm
with the lipstick tattoo
of a woman's name
called chance
and the fishnet skirt
that you bought
just for me

you said you couldn't leave
cereal on the stove
for your kids
and that going on a crime spree
with me
to rob bowling alley workers
that sprayed shoes for tips
was too spooky for you to risk
even though you knew
my flesh colored squirt gun
was already empty

you straddled your six foot fence
with seven foot legs
comfortable on the phalic pickets
afraid to break the suction
by standing up
and giveing me
a better view
of that place you didn't cover
on your schedule

and by the way
your kids called
from the drive through
at wolfgang pucks
to say there was a fire
in the kitchen
something about the cornflake box
on the jenair
and they would be home late

that is a good thing...
it is a satire on timing
working things in
around excuses and have to stuff

thanks SEA

I have to agree with SEA, there are some really great lines in here, and it leaves me wondering what you mean exactly, but thinking that the story must be interesting.

Dark, is this an affaire to remember ...or what. Can I use these excuses in a note to my teacher?
I loved these lines they are so smooth.
you straddled your six foot fence
with seven foot legs.
Kethry.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

the ashes
of toasted cheerios
floated gently
out the window
while bowling pins
fell in erect abandon
blissfully unaware
that cereal holes
had no place
in a joint like this...
but x's and o's
have a way
of meeting
in the strangest places.

Liked this one, DS!  Flesh-colored squirt gun?? *lol*

DS~

Sometimes, time can do that....are you published yet???

Lauren~

Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows
of my heart

This is amazing!  And...so very very sensual!
I love the way you coax the reader in...
and I shall just say thank you for this one before I start to ramble and blush all over the place.
