Awkwardly quiet. <br />We sit tight. <br /> <br />Not talking. <br /> <br />Sulking. <br /> <br />Ouch! <br />You pinch me! <br /> <br />I choose to ignore you. <br /> <br />You glower <br />at me <br /> <br />as if to say <br />how dare you ignore me <br />especially when I’m pinching you. <br /> <br /> <br />Ouch! <br />Now you bite me! <br /> <br />You stare <br />daring me to ignore you! <br /> <br />My flesh smarting <br />your sharp little teeth <br />turning back into a smile. <br /> <br />I laugh. <br /> <br />“Ah, so..Mr. Stuck-Up <br />I got your attention at last! ! ” <br /> <br />“Yeah...! ” <br />I say. <br /> <br />“Well…I was afraid <br />the next time <br />you would eat me! ” <br /> <br />I say smilingly sucking now <br />your little toe. <br /> <br />“Mmmmm! ” you squirm <br />drowning in pleasure. <br /> <br />“I’m glad <br />that you’re my man! ” <br /> <br />“So am I…so am! ”<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/so-am-i/
