SUNNY SIDE UP


"....olive oil $6.59 two bottles of charles shaw $1.99 each

and one delacroix baguette $2.19, will that be atm or credit?"


walking back to her car i rub the back of her neck
my hand buried under a freshly washed layer of thick hair.
i drive north on spring to gale where i turn right
while i hold her left hand and play with its fingers.
after a meal of toasted baguette dipped into mashed avocados
garlic mangos sea salt and olive oil plus both two buck chucks
we lay on the backyard grass watching puffy white clouds
slowly drift across the blue blue sky

"lets do it?" i whisper into her ear. "lets do it? do what?
what are you talking about?" she replys. "you know" i say
as i flick open the four buttons on her blouse.
"no! karen might come home, stop you pervert!"
she laughs while letting me slide her skirt off.
"oooh this grass is damp no! no! no! not unless
youre on the bottom! this grass is wet!"
this grass is wet i think after rolling us to her being on top.

"youre just a pervert" she says "a pervert pervert pervert!
look the cat is watching! pinto he's a pervert and he's trying
to make me one too! come get him pinto!"
the cat scratchs its head yawns then moves to nestle himself
onto a pile of leaves by the rear chain link fence.
"ha ha silly cat wont save you now" i say
and gently pinch her waist.

minutes later the kitchen window opens
and her roommate karen shouts
"hey you guys! make sure you keep the sunny side up!"
