pillow talk

after we
make love and roll
away
from each other once the afterglow
has dimmed,
and the sweat has dried,
we fall into
a pattern of pillow
talk.
what are you doing today,
i mean later,
when you leave here?
i don't know,
maybe go to the store,
i need some
screws for the back gate,
it's loose again,
and i need some weed killer.
have you seen my
back yard,
jiminy crickets, it's a jungle
out there.
what about you?
what are you up to for the rest
of the day?
not sure,
maybe take a nap,
bake some bread, i think
there's a game
on at three.
i should really do a load
or two of laundry
though.
you want to take a shower first?
sure, i'll save
you some hot water.
