mood: hostile
my king-size bed is mine alone.
he sleeps in a chair
with his feet blocking the door.
i tiptoe past them on the way
to the bathroom and
give him the finger.
later, on my way to the kitchen for a soda,
i mouth the words "i HATE you" at his head.
sometimes, i pretend to drop kick him or flick boogers in his gaping mouth.
but, quietly.
i do not want to wake him.
i am not ready to fake a smile.
i am not ready to kiss him goodbye when he leaves for work, wiping my lips with the back of my hand when he's left the room.
so i tiptoe and keep the t.v. low
and let the asshole sleep.
