at least in poetry

how many times have you had to lie to your lover
“NO, DON’T LOOK AT MY COMPUTER!” closing it quickly
“I’M NOT LOOKING AT PORN, I’M… BUYING YOU A PRESENT!”
“DON’T LOOK,” you stammer, “IT’LL RUIN THE SURPRISE!”
I mean, I’ve only ever had to do it the once but
I also haven’t had a lover in a while
were this not a dry spell in my life
I’d definitely had done it
one or two more times
at least
