Toothpaste

I sit on the edge of the bed
looking up at you
with a puzzled expression
a tooth brush poised in my hand
you said it's okay
and you don't mind
my lips
to taste like coffee
i excuse myself to the bathroom
and splash water on my face
wondering
how many girls you've told
it's okay
if they tasted
like strawberries
or
mint.
