Excitations

How much easier
To get the excitement
of our love
(this sixtyish couple)
— oh, how old they are —
in a poem than when,
after sex, we bump thighs
in front of the bathroom mirror
with a toothbrush in our mouths
feeling good and singing
"I'm pickin' up good vibrations
(Oom bop bop good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)"
