The Last Time I watched Office Space
It was 4 years ago.
She was visiting me at college.
Halloween weekend,
We watched a movie.
I spoke
“6 Months and Counting”
She pointed at the screen
“Shush, T.V.”
Then kissed my collar bone
The television lit my October bedroom
In shades of pale blue and purple
It went to commercial
She asked a loaded question
I responded with one of my own
It was reflexive
Easier than breathing
We were children playing
With a gun
Too big for our hands
Fools rush in
Her response was full bodied
Human fire works
Civilizations rose and fell
We were Adam and Eve
A man and a woman
We invented lovemaking
The movie continued without us
