Adventures like Popcorn on the Stove

I love
You because 
You are 
The only person
Who has ever taken me 
On adventures.

You made the 
Foreign 
Relevant.

Like art crawling
And boxed wine
And Belcort Theatre.

I hear about those things now
And they have your smell 
And hands
Attached to them.

It's a goddamn shame 
Because 
I could have enjoyed those things
On my own...
Had it not been for you

[Though I doubt I would have discovered
Them 
At all,
Had it not been
For you]. 

I abhore 
The way you stain the city
And my body.

It's all conquered territory now.

I want to go back to
Before I knew you,

Before I knew  
About 
Life beyond the 
Walls
Of
My 
Little 
House.
