Quickie

You told me,
“I am the female Harvey Weinstein,”
   in jest…
When I would not get in bed with you.

“Could you just come over
   and give me a hug?”
you said.
I really need a hug!” 

 “OKAY. I’ll stop by
   on my way home.”
Left my car in the firelane,
Pressed the flasher button.

 Just inside your doorway
   we hugged for 10 minutes,
Long for a hug,
but you wanted more.

“Come upstairs.”
   “I only came by for a hug.”
“We can hug in bed,” you said.
“I have to leave now.” 

You grabbed me:

 “I am really angry at you!”
   “Why?”
“Because it’s always, ‘slam-bam thank you, ma’am,’
and then out the door!”
