Synapse
I. Restless in Indiana
We smear butter
like wet semi-conscious kisses
inside the hot skillet,
sizzling into breakfast.
Laughing and adding
random pinches of pepper
and paprika to give it our own
flavor.
Eggs burning
in the background of two
hungry dreamers making
love
over easy.
II. Trailer park, Muncie, Indiana
Prego spaghetti sauce smell
in our bedroom
Kids fever in the next room over
Hair stuck in the bath
room sink
Trash outside in the bin.
Woman screaming
in harmony to the skinny cat purring
on the sill.
No Colorado mountain outside
of the dusty book.
But..
we have the Rockies
in our bed room
dreams. We have a Gemini
sleeping under an elephant
mobile and a fat
cat at the foot of our bed.
We have spaghetti to eat
whenever we want.
