One day
I want to be the bed
you fall into
at the end of your journey
not a motel bed, me--
stale and generic,
with a stiff polyester bedspread
and magic fingers if you insert a quarter
I would be
an apple-pie bed, dry and warm
sheets fresh off the line,
quilt plump and waiting
smelling of no other
but you.
