THE IMPORTANCE OF IDEAS
 
You met me at the airport 
too embarrassed to kiss me.
I laughed,
I loved that about you.
The taxi driver insisted
I should pay.
I laughed.  
I loved that about him,
especially as it was you who had to
forked over the forty dollars.
I loved how you felt me out 
through forty-two 
strategically chosen
questions.
Yes, you finally decided,
I was still all about you.
So what are you thinking, I said.
So what are you?  you said,
And then we went to bed.
I think best in bed
and I think that
the most important idea I've ever had 
was you.
All else is ridiculous.
