A Cup of Conversation

She was the cat's pajamas

every night to me

walking and talking

with a flashlight; excitedly

Our chairs had grown

too annoying to sit in

and these talks had become

our very vitamins

If those who chase the dragon

only would instead

have a cup of conversation

each night before bed...

Perhaps they would not

drink so much devil juice

nor treat their minds as toys

and live their lives so loose
