we're so alike

one minute she's in
hong kong,
meditating in a lush
green garden,
her legs
set in a lotus
position,
the next day
she's in paris
floating
on a barge down
the seine.
sipping red wine,
eating
bleu cheese,
and saying things
in a low voice
that are sublime.
you scratch your
neck
where it itches,
reading her e mail,
and think about
what to do next.
maybe
later you could
go up to target
to buy some kitty
litter. you're
almost out.
