Caffeinating and, Falling in love with some stranger's spine.

Caffeinating and,
Falling in love
With some stranger’s spine.
 
Falling in love
With some stranger’s spine
Is so easy.
 
My ears
smell like
Apple Cider Vinegar.
 
My whole life,
A Eustachian
Salad
Dressing.
 
I just learned
The word
Eustachian
yesterday,
and now
I’m showing
off.
 
Stress-resistant
Makes me think
Of raincoats
And
a Mickey Mouse wristwatch.
 
And hyphens.
 
Most of our mothers
messed up potty training.
I’m pretty sure
mine didn’t
wrap my stroller
up in plastic.
 
Falling in love
With some stranger’s spine
Is so easy.
 
Wonder at
Their dissolving
ear wax.
I prefer
To avoid
Tight deadlines.
 
Soon the stranger
Will be leaving
With his spine
And his sneakers.
