let's go wild

put some clothes on
she tells
you, twirling into
the room
wearing a new dress.
let's go out
and get wild,
have some fun.
you grimace
behind the newspaper,
then yawn.
what? you say, go
wild?
yes. let's have some
fun and do something
crazy.
like what you say?
folding the newspaper
over, checking
the obituaries
on the back page
of the metro section.
go wild? you say
again. give me an
example of what that
might entail.
I don't know, she
says, drink some
tequila, drive
to the beach. meet
up with some fun
people. stuff like
that. okay, sure, you
say. but I need a nap
first. what time
to you want to start
and have you
seen my Hawaiian
shirt?
