i traced your arms as you laid spread out on the sunday paper
looked like the crime scene of an angel ghost
i heard the gate clatter to on the elevator
i wrapped myself up in it like a cold beef roast
fell asleep
was cooked medium and placed on a dining room table in brooklyn
before an older couple surrounded by family and friends so wonderful and kind
i flashed back to you giving dollars to homeless men down in the bowery
not before they convinced you it was for sandwiches and not for wine
i just could never convince you baby
this was our time
this was our time
this was our time
now your feeding me fabulous chinese takeout on the dampened bed sheets
our last supper so you might say
i woke up in a cold sweat and realized we'd never cooked one meal together
you always said
why bother?" with the cuisines of the world laid at our feet here everyday
