475

Why should you get to use my name?
I may still live here when I'm old
but not because I have someplace to be,
here, every morning,
a parking spot, a person we both have to listen to
from opposite sides of the building.

You heard that I said something to
someone you see in the afternoon.
Well I'll go home to lay down with
someone who can tell how happy I am
every when my shirt is untucked
and I bury my pale face under the covers.
