These Theories With John

there are so many things
I’ve wanted with you
and for you
and there are these images
these potential memories
and I think I want to share those with you

I heard a poem today
that made me think
of being on a beach with you
where I could pour an ice cold beer over myself

okay, so we would have to have a case of beer
to ourselves at that moment, on the beach,
but get back to the story now

I heard a poem today
that made me think
of being on a beach with you
where I could pour an ice cold beer over myself
and maybe you’d take the bottle away from me
and pour more over me

and yes, we have a case of beer
so we can pour our beer
and drink our beer too

but I keep having this memory
where you’d pour the top
of a bottle of beer over me
and I would roll my head back
feeling the cold of that liquid
cun across my chest
and run down my arms

I’d like you to do something frivalous
like that
and I would like to see you reach over
and bend down
to run your tongue
underneath my collar bone

and I don’t know what I like more
the sun
the beer on my chest
the beach
you licking my skin
all of this together

or what may happen
after this
after these memories
after these ideas
after they become a reality

are we going to have these memories
