wet wet water

i licked dairy-free buttery spread from my fingers &
you came clean about the milk you'd poured in my cereal but i only laughed
turned up the oven while the toast crackled
and the smoke drifted up
and let's just hope the fire alarm doesn't work, else
the screeching beeping will drive us outside

into the rain and we'll
wander confused, wander wet
with drops drip-dropping off the ends of our noses
streams coming down from our hair.
listen, do you hear the clouds silently fleeing?

now that we're wet and slippery we should go to the coast
before it dries up too
oh look i imagined it maybe but here i am still
in this puddle drenched and shivering,
transported. where have you gone, my enemy?
