Remnants #86
July  3, 2002

I broke up with my lover
but we still have sex
every Sunday 

shortly after 1:00 pm
we generalize plans
in emails

if he showers at home
it will take longer
but I remind him that
his shampoo is still
sitting on the
bathtub ledge

When he calls me
to tell me
he is on his way
he asks these
two questions |
Did you do dinner?
Is there anything you want me to bring?

I give him
various answers
but what I'm
really thinking is
I wonder how much
shampoo is left
in the bottle.
