I didn't mean to fall out of bed after sex
but don't worry, it'll probably happen again.

Call it applause, call it a compliment,
call me whatever name you like, call me back.

The early stages of falling for each other,  
pushing and pulling against unseen forces

until the resistance collapses and
hearts accelerate at 9.8m/s².

Along my equator I grow hungry and
weaker for the sight of you standing to wash 

offering me a hand to help me up 
that I decline, because I like the view.

This is how we communicate, bodies in heat
reaching pinnacle velocity, then cooling 

grounded in the fact that we are not one soul, 
but two separate entities orbiting the truth

that we may collide but never reach understanding 
of one another, or of love for that matter, 

but that goes without saying, 
down here on the floor.

#Writing #poetry at dawn before I can will myself out of bed to get coffee, or type the #poem I actually meant to write for this initially. This was fun though, a funny memory with hidden weight, if you will. Enjoy 🤗

Hi Roger, I'm going to be quoting your poem "The Art Of Knowing Your Clientele" from your wondrous new book "Notes from various settees" at the start of my Wakefield performance as I'm sure these words are meant for me:
