the boss is away but the mice
won't play without him
he is stretched out
in the midwest sun
while we bake here in
the city heat
I wonder does he
still check
his text messages as
often there
as he did here
when the two were apart if not quite so far
and I wonder if he
thinks as much
about her there as he did
when she was underfoot
does he miss making
love to her
or even remember how
good it feels
to have her pressed up against him
and I wonder if he is as good
a lover as she needs
or just one more in a string
of trickling up or
working things out
and just who fills his shoes
when she needs to be with someone
and he's so remote
is the next guy
adequate
does she even care
just needs someone
anyone will do
anyone of course
accept
one person
I need no imagination
to figure out
in these dog Days with all of us
in days of heat
