stubbed my chin on his toe

I wonder how the brain decides
now is the time
to kiss for the first time

I would but I won’t
touch you until you are skeleton
it’s like things are happening in threes
but what’s a three-sum got to do with
signing my life away

a life away
in the rearview of a honeymoon

I would but I won’t
but I probably will
just so I always have someone
to put sunscreen on my back

extra on my shoulders
right there
(like that)

the weight
(just like that)
on my shoulders
(just like that)
all the planets
on my shoulders

carrying you
until I am lopsided
and Saturn
