Staying overnight in a friend’s house
I miss my own bed
in San Francisco
and the man in my bed
but mostly just
my bed
It’s a mattress on the floor
but so what?
This bed I’m in is lumpy
It lists to one side
It has thin covers
and is short
All night I toss and turn
dreaming of my bed
in San Francisco
with me in it
and the man too sometimes
in it
but together
Sometimes we are eating pastrami
which he likes
Sometimes we are eating
Other things
