Today, All I Want Is This
a friend offers me dinner
i offer dinner back
another friend offers me love
i offer love back
this friend tells me a dinner and love offering are the same thing
i wait till we are done with the lovemaking, to say
that friend’s dinner was the only thing that settled well in my belly.
