SCHEDULE
The room is cleaned up
and because it is Saturday
the sheets are linen
pure, white and steamed,
the dinner is a banquet
and the dessert is an apple pie
So, she lies on the bed
and he, on the top of her
because it is a holiday
they have closed the office
they are following the schedule
The room is cleaned up
linen sheets
she is waiting for him
he is on the top of her
he is following the schedule
she is looking through the window
For a few brief moments
he enters and pulls out of her
she moans and suffers predictably
he comes and shakes convincingly
Because it is Saturday
the office is closed
she is lying on the bed
he is on the top of her
she is moaning predictably
he is thinking about the pie
she is thinking about morphine
and in the inside-outside rhythm
she feels like she was dead
and he pretends he is loved.
