I Marry the Bed

Finger to finger, now she's mine
She's not too far. She's my encounter
I beat her like a bell. I recline
In the bower where you used to mount her
You borrowed me on the flowered spread
At night, alone, I marry the bed

Take for instance this night, my love
Hat every single couple puts together
With a joint overturning, beneath, above
The abundant two on sponge and feather
Kneeling and pushing, head to head
At night, alone, I marry the bed

She took you the way a woman takes
A bargain dress off the rack
And I broke the way a stone breaks
I give back your books and fishing tack
Today's paper says that you are wed
At night, alone, I marry the bed

The boys and girls are one tonight
They unbutton blouses. They unzip flies
They take off shoes. They turn off the lights
The glimmering creatures are full of lies
They are eating each other. They are overfed
At night, alone, I marry the bed
