Friction

tires on the highway on the way to work
balding on this forty dollars
to fill up my gas tank commute

NPR discussing the fall of Sadam
when the statue hit the ground
metal clanking on the cement
pieces of Hussein flying about

the Easter bunny standing
behind the first lady
late night talk shows
joking that the bunny
was humping Laura’s ass

and you rubbing yours against mine
last night with the window open
while the cat drug the bird across
the porch leaving remnants
of feathers which
this morning brushed softly
against the doorstep
