Mephitic
You had scrawled mephitic on the wall.
The professor spoke to himself in front
Of a bunch of drowsy people. What were
The interests of the Greeks? And did they
Have mischievousness on the steps of the Lyceum?
You asked me these questions on your back,
Rose cheeked, reprimanded,
Erect nipples, hair matted and adorable,
A dusty vinyl sniffing its hushed final
Grooves in the corner, perfectly timed.
