The eyes open to a blue telephone
In the bathroom of this five-star hotel.

I wonder whom I should call? A plumber,
Proctologist, urologist, or priest?

Who is blessed among us and most deserves
The first call? I choose my father because

He's astounded by bathroom telephones.
I dial home. My mother answers. "Hey, Ma,"

I say, "Can I talk to Poppa?" She gasps,
And then I remember that my father

Has been dead for nearly a year. "Shit, Mom,"
I say. "I forgot he's dead. I'm sorry -

How did I forget?" "It's okay," she says.
"I made him a cup of instant coffee

This morning and left it on the table -
Like I have for, what, twenty-seven years -

And I didn't realize my mistake
Until this afternoon." My mother laughs

At the angels who wait for us to pause
During the most ordinary of days

And sing our praise to forgetfulness
Before they slap our souls with their cold wings.

Those angels burden and unbalance us.
Those fucking angels ride us piggyback.

Those angels, forever falling, snare us
And haul us, prey and praying, into dust. ~ Sherman Alexie

"Excuse me, sir?" he says, and the guard looks at him. "Would it be acceptable to carry my girlfriend like a sack of potatoes in order to get out of here quicker and make sweet love to her?"
The guard's mouth moves, but he resists smiling. "No, sir, that would not be acceptable."
"Piggyback?"
"Nope."
"Put her on a trolley?"
"No."
"You're no fun."
"So my wife keeps telling me. ~ Leisa Rayven

I got the groceries and lugged them all the way to Akinli's dorm, running slightly behind because I couldn't get into the building on my own. The university required ID cards to get into the dorms after six, and since I wasn't an actual student, I had to wait for someone else to come along and scan his so I could piggyback in.
"You need some help?" the boy asked, his eyes lingering on my mouth.
I shook my head no.
"Aww, come on. That's way too heavy for you."
He came closer, and again I cursed our natural appeal. I wasn't in danger exactly, and I knew that, but it didn't make these encounters any less uncomfortable. I shook my head again.
"No, really, which floor are you on? I can - "
"Hey, Kahlen!" I looked up to see Akinli walking down the hall. His button-up was open over the gray shirt beneath it, but I was thrilled to see that he'd at least put one on. "I was starting to worry. Hey, Sam."
"Hey." The boy gave Akinli a look and headed toward the stairwell, his displeasure at Akinli's arrival clear. In the meantime, I felt my mood lift significantly. I was now officially on my first date. ~ Kiera Cass
