Any Edge Will Do

why am I walking around gingerly
fine fleet feathery hooves
naked in my hat?

see the door jumped off its hinges
on you in the laundry room
around nine forty

I came out to examine the hinges
looked at you with concern
in the way I have

that makes you not want to spend
any time around me that day
so I said okay

NPR was on, something about
global food shortages
and about irises

you said I always agree when
the idea involves
separation

we asked Google "how do you know
when you're going crazy?"
but got no answer

later I saw I <3 YOU in my journal
red for the heart, black ink
for the I and the you
