blue toothbrush

emily kinney

do you have my blue toothbrush?

i left it near the bathroom sink

it's been a couple months

i think

you tossed it

if i had to guess

i hope it never caused you stress

i know how you don't like a mess

you rarely have the time each day

to deal with tooth or heart decay

of someone who's a million miles away

but still i thought that i could stay

i've been thinking about

winter mornings

talking in your bed

sleepy eyes

head raised

blue head dreams

waiting in my head

i take a shower and brush my teeth

put my toothbrush down

where it is easy to reach

i've been thinking about

harlem sidewalks

new york morning winds

capel talk

lips locked

now a shore

wasn't sure if i had to loose

coffee

a kiss

and rains and brand

prue half hour and sure be again

have you seen my blue toothbrush?

i left it near the bathroom sink

it's been a couple months

i think

yeah

if you kept my blue toothbrush

i don't mean to push or rush

you should have a real nice place

a toothbrush doesn't take much space

maybe you could keep it there

i should be back in may of next year

can't tell if it's wrong or right

but you should know

that toothbrush keeps me up at night

if you don't want my blue toothbrush

i'll take it back on we next meet

just trying to help you keep things neat
