Baruch likes
Marvel's wife
he likes being
with her
likes her near
Marvel said
come over
come play chess
have a few drinks
a smoke or so
and so he has
and Marvel's wife is there
and she's got the drinks
and made up
some sandwiches
and sits nearby
watching the TV
and he sees her there
wearing the red dress
her dark hair
and when she walks
across the room
he catches sight
of her swaying ass
the tightness of the dress
where it holds
and he looks
half knowingly
so as not
to arouse Marvel's
suspicions
but little
does Marvel know
that Baruch has seen her
when he was out
on his job
little did he know
his wife has brought
Baruch in
got him a drink
and relaxed him
on the white sofa
shut the mutt
in the other room
and said
how do you like your drink?
and he said
cool
and so she got him
a cool drink
and swayed back to him
leaning down towards him
easing down
her fine breasts
towards him
and that time
when she was
all over him
kissing his neck
coming on strong
and the sofa
where Marvel's wife
sits now
has been a place
of serious love making
but Marvel thinks only
of the next chess move
his stubby fingers
moving his piece
thinking of checkmate
not seeing Baruch's eyes
on his wife
as she sits
on the white sofa
and Baruch takes in
her knees
the legs crossing over
Marvel smoking
his cigarette
smiling as he moves
his bishop
his eyes on the board
and his wife sitting there
behind his back
on the sofa
lying back
pointing to Baruch
her lonely cleavage
and he smiling
one eye
on the board
and on his queen
and the other eye
seeking an opening
in her dress
some visual
to take home
some dream piece
to take to bed
and turn around
and around
inside his head.
