Because I woke up from a most delicious dream this Monday morning, here is a love poem for you: Nikki Giovanni’s “I Wrote a Good Omelet.” It perfectly captures the discombobulation of being in love.
“I Wrote a Good Omelet”
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
