68.

I cannot provide for you
what you deserve at the moment,
so let us construct a
layaway program:
two kisses here,
three pool games there,
and fifteen neck rubs where I pull
the hair on the back of your head
the way you like.
And tell me whether that would
be enough for you, or whether
I should save up a bit more
money, time, and bite marks
with which to pay you
for the good you've done me, and
the light you've already brought
into my field of vision. Tell
me if this is enough. And
if it is not, I will gladly,
humbly and kindly,
offer you whatever is left
of me.
