Bird

Take me to the Hudson River Valley; teach me to golf; have me read all these modern books you love that I think hardly hold a candle to pre-1800 lit; let me see the color of your eyes, and run your fingers through my hair once it's grown back and reddest red; tell me why you took time off, enough so that you're two years behind your entering class; let me know how much you smoke and don't do it around me; share a cigarette now and again; ask me if you need to go get a condom.

Let me say yes.
