She had headlights where most women have eyes;<\/p>\n
Two bright brown orbs dancing with light;<\/p>\n
They draw you in, or at least;<\/p>\n
They drew me in;<\/p>\n
Now her head is lying on my breast;<\/p>\n
Her curls rising and falling with every breath I take;<\/p>\n
And it occurs to me;<\/p>\n
We haven’t had “the talk”;<\/p>\n
Is she gay?<\/p>\n
Is she bi?<\/p>\n
Is she straight, but rethinking that career decision once she ended up on my chest?<\/p>\n
And then I realize;<\/p>\n
I really don’t care;<\/p>\n
As long as those beautiful eyes keep staring up at me from my breast;<\/p>\n
She could have five<\/em> husbands;<\/p>\n It doesn’t matter;<\/p>\n Because, right now;<\/p>\n She’s here with me.<\/p>\n -30-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" She had headlights where most women have eyes; Two bright brown orbs dancing with light; They draw you in, or at least; They drew me in; Now her head is lying on my breast; Her curls rising and falling with every breath I take; And…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":236,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-marathon-poem"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13638","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/236"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13638"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13638\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13755,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13638\/revisions\/13755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13638"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
