“Let’s not go Home”

Passed out in a parking lot 
Beneath the blanket,
high on the enjambment of your last poem
having reread the last of your pot
Sitting in the back of my Honda Civic and wondering why we don't move to your Subaru

too lazy to open up the sunroof cause we can't quite remove
the shiver of our words from each others lips with another kiss
Beckoning each other with just a few more stares
from across a dimly lit
dorm room
Knowing we'll mix better
than any mess of drugs two poets could drown themselves in
Seal my lips tight and tell me you'll see me soon

keeping it secret that we're like this sober.
