it's a Monday night

and I’m watching Casino Royale

on my laptop, in bed

with a glass of pinot noir


and I swear I wasn’t thinking of you but

there’s that scene where Bond tells Vesper

"your beauty is a problem"

because people won’t take her seriously


and I thought of you

not because I was thinking of you

but if you remember the last time

you invited yourself over


how we talked

about our world

about our society

about our families


about our deepest insecurities

about love

and you said something

to that same effect


anyway I wasn’t thinking of you

it just reminded me of when

you said you met someone

that you're in love


and that you can talk

about the world

about family

about love


while I sit with a glass of pinot noir

in bed, on my laptop

watching Casino Royale

on a Monday night


not thinking of you
