Distracted
By Kendall Gregory


I can hear you breathing on the other end

The thought of you touching her chest

your fingers run through her hair

kissing her neck

your hands moving all over her body



you're continuing to argue into the phone

I'm too busy picturing her taking your pants off

or maybe you took them off yourself

quickly

with excitement

I'm cringing



Her bedroom is beautiful, just like her

vintage frames hang off moss green walls

I've never seen it with the lights off

does the street light on Whitaker shine through the window and onto the bed



Finally there is silence on the other end

"I didn't hear anything you just said" I admit



I can imagine you with her

in her

God, It's such an intimate experience

I can't imagine letting you touch me now

I don't want to even be near you



You tell me that I deserve to think about this

to picture you with her

"Welcome to my life for the past few months" you say

you've hung up the phone

I hug my knees and wait for morning
