Yes, beauty's in the air 

because I can't find a way 

to sterilize this room 

down with any more cans of Glade. 

Oh, shit, is that a copyrighted brand? 

I only got dimes in my hand,

so, please, say 'hello' to Misters Truman and Abraham

for me. 

She makes me laugh, 

her smile like a banquet 

at a competition 

when I'm finished with it. 

The volume goes down 

in all things, 

and she pulls me 

closer, kissing 

my cheeks. 

Every day, I'm blessed, knowing 

these comforting faces

are all here for me. 

At least, 

that's what the gallery 

in my phone 

reflects to me. 

When I'm alone 

at night, I like to flip through 

all the colors, jokes, and news. 

When I'm alone 

at night, I like to hold her 

by the hands, waist, and neck-

Bring her closer. 

I like to bring her closer

and let her assess.
