morning joe

do they have
pillow talk, do they discuss
the fate
of the world
when he returns
from his fourth trip to the bathroom?
do they wake
up and smell the coffee,
as he puts on his slippers
and wipes
the sand from his eyes
and asks
what day is this?
does she help
him into the shower,
securing the bathmat down,
so that he doesn't slip.
and helps
him with the nozzles
for the water?
too hot, too cold? she asks.
don't forget,
today is that NATO meeting
at ten.
the leaders
from Europe.
France, Germany, 
and the others will all be there.
i wrote down all
their names.
i'll leave you a list.
