do you smell gas?

we need to talk
your lover says, we
need to discuss
a few things about
where this relationship
is going, we
need to define
what exactly we're
doing here, with
one another. are
you listening?
sorry, did you say,
something, I had
my head in
the oven trying
to find out where
this gas smell
is coming from.
forget the oven,
she says and look at
me. striking at match
at this point
seems to be the better
option, but you don't.
you take a seat
and say, okay. what?
