You Have a Nice Smile (I Promise)

I put the caulk
in the hamper
with the baby shampoo
and the frozen milk sequins
that you love to throw
at the tourists.
By the time you get
home tonight there will
be another blackout
sitting on the couch
with a stern look
of no-electric toys.
The track is banked
which adds a sense
of elegance to the
rec room. You have
a nice smile
I promise not
to bite into it
until tomorrow.
