the mind reader

i can read your mind
she tells
you, staring
crazily into your
eyes. okay, you
say, what am i
thinking now.
right this second.
you are hungry,
she says,
hungry for love,
for affection,
for respect.
and what else,
you ask her, what
else? hold on,
she says, putting
her hands onto
your head
moving her nose
into your face,
her forehead
touching yours.
you are thinking
about....about.
chicken, fried
chicken, she says,
with mashed potatoes
and gravy.
got it, you say.
you're good, really
good.
