I’m a hot jazz drum solo.
You’re an adjustable
wrench cast in cool iron.Our unlikely romance
is redder, whiter & bluerthan the last American
flag — as if it’s on drugs.The AM radio weather
reporter has lied again.So much for imagining
threesome sex with her.Far from learning to settle
into the familiar we may be,but this is not a Motel 6.
