what about me?

the desk clerk
tells my girlfriend how beautiful
she looks
today
as we come in from
a long day on the beach.
tanned
and rested.
her sunglasses on.
her hat,
still in her yellow bikini.
her long legs
glistening.
you look lovely today,
the clerk says again.
finally i can't take it anymore,
and say,
with my arms out,
hey, what about me?
