Thumbs on a nickel blitz

 

In the restaurant the window sun glows strong 

Sweat forms in the widow's armpits 

She hopes he will see 


Come evening the dog is too hot 

She pants on a red fleece throw 

She is practicing self-restraint 


It is a work in progress 

I could not be at a party right now



Perhaps I've shared too much 

I'm trying not to overthink it 


My heart is beating so fast
