Have you met my needs?

Have you met my needs?

I was there in line and bad voice spoke to me

I’d order the extra bacon even though it meant  

shaving minutes off of my life

and the planet’s 

I couldn’t care less at that moment

it was the only pleasure available 

before I had met you 

and now we spend our days and nights

in all sorts of blister and tetra packs

in my apartment in your underwear

and we rub each other fast enough 

to erase any memories of happier

times when we were younger 

and we never had second thoughts

about looking beyond our desires
