my wife appears from inside the bath and says,

"Are you ready for bed, for bed" and says

2. I wipe my face with a fresh washclothe
and stare in the mirror and floss, I floss.
I stare in the mirror and floss.
I open the bedroom door and then, fling my bathrobe aside
and fall asleep next to my wife,
but here's what I dream inside, inside.
Here's what I dream inside.

and I smell like the rotting seaweed, seaweed.
I smell like the rotting seaweed.

cause there's no policeman in sight, in sight.
