Slim. Smart.
All you need.
Hold me beneath the dinner table.
Caress me on the train,
in a pew.
i whisper in your ear,
shimmy into your pocket,
and vibrate.
Push my buttons.
Drop.
Recharge.
i light up your face.
No birthday presents,
anniversaries,
or mother in laws.
No Whys?
Whens?
How could yous?
i speak when spoken to.
No, don't look up.
Look at me.
i take you anywhere.
You take me everywhere.
How did you live without me?
Shhh.
Don't try to remember.

Here's to you, National Poetry Month!
