Pink Aquarium
He is wandering — Paris, road trip quips,
gas station cats, Red Bull escapades, bars,
pop stars in MAGA hats, apocalypse
epiphanies in spectral memoirs.
She’s waiting — coffee shop, laptop, wife swap
eavesdrop, rodent monarchies nibble brains,
imaginary gangbangs, lollipops
self medicating solitary pain.
He’s waded to her pink aquarium,
discarnate, penetrating, coffee breaks, with tongue
emoji, nose-against-glass delirium.
She opens in the custom of the young.
To sirens boxed, his pause feels like something.
Will he stay a while? She is wondering.
