Leave laundry on bathroom floors
Glasses on dining room tables

Traipse mud over white kitchen doors and drawers
even across my heart

Dislike dinners I create you
Read newspapers at breakfast tables

Scrape labels off of spice jars
Study planets for a weekend
then share hockey night with friends
other than me … I will understand

Take long walks with others, or alone __ collect Your thoughts

and leave me by my ocean’s side
where I too will gather and reminisce in content

Hell!  You can even leave the toilet seat up
   and I will still understand

Just never, never and I mean ever in infinitude
      … take me for granted

         This breaks my heart

Of all the tortures of this universe, not to do to me __ I beg __ I plead

F_o_r_g_e_t_m_e_n_o_t!
