jiggle it


with my hands
on her hips as i kiss
the back of her neck 
i say jiggle it.
put the key in all the way
and jiggle it from side
to side
up and down
then turn the knob.
when you hear
the click it's unlocked.
it won't open
she says, struggling with
the key in her
shaking hand.
i can't get it open.
so i try, but get nowhere.
i tap the door with my foot.
it's stuck, it's cold.
it's jammed.
i give up, i say,  we
don't have time for this.
maybe your
house tonight
instead of mine.
