Let's Take a Nap

let's take a nap,
I tell her,
as we read the sunday
paper
together on the long couch.
it's a grey rainy day,
just chilly enough
to stay put and lounge
around
with coffee and tea.
a nap? she says,
and winks.
I know what you mean by
napping,
but okay
but first let me put
these dishes in the sink,
lock the door,
then i'll meet you upstairs
after changing into
something black,
a pair of heels
and put some lipstick on.
