I Wrote A Good Omelet By Nikki Giovanni

I wrote a good omelet… and ate
a hot poem… after loving you

Buttoned my car… and drove my
coat home… in the rain…
after loving you

I goed on red… and stopped on
green… floating somewhere in between…
being here and being there…
after loving you

I rolled my bed… turned down
my hair… slightly
confused but… I don’t care…

Laid out my teeth… and gargled my
gown… then I stood
…and laid me down…
To sleep…
after loving you
