can you sit still long enough

can i paint
your portrait, she asks me as we
lie in
bed,
wishing we had
a someone kind around
to fetch
us coffee and a croissant.
you want to paint me?
i ask her,
leaving my hand on her
leg.
yes.
she says.
can you sit still long enough
for me to paint you?
i doubt it i tell her.
maybe a photograph
instead.
