There is a Japanese man
in a bed ten feet away.
I do not know if he sleeps
or if he lay awake
listening to the quiet grumblings
of our agitated bed
as it tolerates our mischief
We do our best to sooth
these ascetic complaints
with a slower and less salacious caress
attempting (for the moment) to behave ourselves
but I still wonder if maybe
Yuki is listening to us.
