Waiting For Something Important

[vern.silver]

with three day old socks smelling
three days old
balled and rolled under the corner of the bed

and three day worn jockeys
cluttering the clear passage i had
at knowing you better

i more or less left you
lying on stained sheets
waiting for something important
to come between us

waiting for something important
to slip out from beneath the runs
in your black stockings
that we didn't bother taking off
but tore instead
