parasite

you are my darlingest darling
and o you make me seethe
I smile and smile
with my teeth on edge
gritted hard
slowly suck my breath in
gurgling through the saliva
collected along my gums
and exhale slow through my nose
o baby I sure do 
love you

but really I don't care that much
[only after too many beers]
just some small prick
to occupy my mind
