You sit on a chair in the back of my mind

You sit on a chair in the back of my mind,

your invitation in hand.

And you lean back from a four-legged chair

to a two-legged chair, and I can’t understand

what you’re doing there in the back of my mind.

Your intelligent eyes

are looking at me out from under your hair.

You don’t care

what it costs me to keep your there

on that two-legged chair,

intimately touching me there where I’m bare:

in the back of my mind.
