strawberries after sex
taste sweeter
especially when they’re hydroponic
you had to look up what that meant –
its when you grow plants from water
not soil
its more sustainable that way
it must be cheaper too
because the box was $3 instead of the usual 6
the strawberries tasted sweeter
than any other strawberries I’ve ever had
and it’s not just because we ate them after sex.
the rain fell outside
bringing the scent of sweet, wet earth into the bedroom
I inhaled,
looked into your eyes
and thought
i’m not sure if we’re made from water
or soil.
i’m not sure if we were made to be sustainable.
