The aphids
will drink dry
your pretty porch plants
and turn them brown
before August
or the vacation
with the forgetful neighbors
in charge of your living things
while you are
what are you?
away
get the chance.

Are you
pretty inside? are you
lovely are you
in love with a
humid night and a
hand in your hand saying

you'd better let me
lead you down it
can be a
little tricky here?

I'm not talking about if
your glass is
half empty
of half full

only if you are thirsty.
