the occasional pajama party

i find myself almost falling
in love again,
but quickly throw a cold glass
of water over
my head and slap myself as
hard as i possibly can
without knocking out several
teeth and breaking my nose.
i shake my head and come
to my senses. whew, that was
a close one, i say to
the mirror, wagging my finger
at myself.
no more of that, i lecture
my swollen face. it's just
friends and the occasional
pajama party from here on out.
got that?
no more mush, no more
vows. no more soul mates,
or cell mates. done.
