jimmy and sally

it's a bad
time to have an argument
when
you're in the middle
of making love,
but when
she called me jimmy
and not
my real name, i questioned
her.
no, no, she said.
i didn't say jimmy,
i said,
it's supposed to be windy
out today.
windy.
we should really take the umbrella
down off the deck.
i distinctly heard
you moan the name jimmy
when i bit your neck,
i tell her.
no, no, she said. i said windy.
so, while we're in the middle
of hot romantic
love you're thinking
about the wind?
about damage to the porch
umbrella?
kiss me, she said.
let's not talk about it anymore,
okay? let's move on.
my leg is starting to cramp,
plus i have a
hair appointment at noon.
okay,
Sally.
