Forget chess

(why must we be adversaries?)


Forget chess


Forget chess,

Forget football

Forget the drinks we ordered

And take me home


You call me a threat;

I don’t like the tone in your voice

I don’t like you in that dress

And i don’t want to take a cab


You call me

Two years later

And say--

“I’m trying to forget the way you smell”

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

why can’t we just walk home

eat the snow before it

hits the ground,

and


fall asleep

and forget

to stop

wanting us?
