I watch her sleep, my future. There in her dumb bed. 
No wait…. let me correct that, her smart bed 
Her smart car 
Everything about her seems smart. 
 
Look at those lungs 
Look at those breasts 
Pumping oxygen in and out. I get a hard on every time I sit next to her. 
 
Teacher 
Teach me this? 
I say 
Her finger tips idle upon my arm, 
 
Shit niggers 
Yeah you! 
 
It is like we are in a collapsed lung, an earthquake, a mine field; no wait, a mine shaft, and I see the light 
Her 
Natalie 
Tati 
The Schneider’s 
The love 
Catholic and Irish 
 
I don’t know about you guys but I see the light and a move towards it because I seen the darkness 
And trust me 
Trust me 
Trust me
