Chanting mantras on the way home
from whatever useless and monotone activity
which occupies our day this time.
I reach for my keys, but the door is already open.
I spy tender skin and soft eyes. I spy, I spy.
The back of a neck, all golden curls and pale
composition. Until she opens her eyes,
and I spy no more.
Her name is Goldilocks and she came into my house,
ate my porridge, sat on my chair, slept on my bed,
then complained about it!
And I cherished her smile while I listened
to her passionate tales about invasion of private property.
