Tonight's Poet Corner: You Slept With Sean
You Slept With Sean
by Belinda Roddie
He had an air mattress pumped for two,
the crumbs of bagel bites still on the rug. He
bellowed like train wheels in his sleep. You
remembered to lock the door.
When you woke up, he was already making eggs,
and you wanted tabasco sauce with your meal, but
all he had was ketchup, so
you knew it was just a fling.
