seriously, what's wrong with you?

she yells
at me because i let my freezing
cold feet
touch her long warm
legs.
it's our first fight.
what's wrong with you, she says
loudly into
my good ear.
you need to get a checkup,
a cardiologist
needs to do a workup
on you.
you have
zero circulation
in your body.
there's not a droplet of blood
in your feet.
seriously.
keep those ice bergs
away
from me.
i'm surprised your toes
don't just snap off 
at some point,
like icicles.
sorry, i tell her. sorry.
so i guess that's it,
you're not in the mood anymore?
we're going to sleep?
yes, now put these socks on.
