Our Little Thing

Sloppy Bar Room Kiss, by Nicole Eisenman
 STANDING IN MY STIRRUPS
  
 As my meeting needs evolve.

  
 I’M SO SORE
  
 Like my shoulders.
 After every yoga.

  
 VULNERABILITY
  
 I’m pretty 
 Sure I did.
 I know 
 I hope so.

  
 HAWK
  
 Grab and go.

  
 IT’S OFFICIAL
  
 You’re preapproved!

  
 BEE-ATTITUDE
  
 I hope to be at 25 hives by September.

  
 HE LIKES IT
  
 It’s our little thing.

  
 SAVE THE DATE
  
 On its next birthday Earth will be 5 billion years old.

  
 OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD
  
 All supported versions.

  
 PILOT PROGRAM
  
 Civilization.

  
 I FOUND IT
  
 It’s right here. 

  
 BUT THE BREATHING
  
 When she starts getting stressed,
 It’s labored.

  
 LIFE
  
 I should have quit before it became a habit.

  
 THE WHOLE TIME
  
 You’re like
 Huh?
