almost the best part

Janet Kuypers
04/01/98

isn’t that moment of expectation
almost the best part of it

when you think everything is over
and then they come back
they walk across the living room
when everyone else is sleeping



and you think you shouldn’t be doing this
that this can’t be happening
and you let their skin touch yours
when you’re laying on the floor
on the carpet in the living room

well, that moment
right before you’re on the floor
in the living room
isn’t that moment of expectation
almost the best part of it
