incognito 7/31/14

if you'd like

i'll stay

quietly

i'll be the corner vase

the dusty bookend

the softest kitchen knife in the drawer

you don't even have to want

you only have to

not mind

i'll glue myself to you

inconspicuously

a loose thread on your shoelace

the lint in your back left pocket

i only desire

to see your eyes glow

to bask in your passion and vivacity

and maybe absorb a small cent of it

to keep for my own
