Nice Knowing Ya
Eric Blasco

Is this love
      strewn around the floor?
Or a tangle of old socks
      walking out the door.

Your flesh is sand
      in between my sheets.
Our faces relaxed,
      is this the first time we meet?
Or the first time we went to eat–
      each other out?

If it is, love’s a smelly flower
           in mating position,
A back of the bedroom
           chair decision
A smell in the air,                                                                                                                                           if you listen.
