The Trouble with Memories

No one reaches out of the shower
To grab her towel from the shiny rack,
And no one wraps a turban
Around her dripping black hair,
And no one wears a blue velvet robe
With a sash with a double knot,
And no one saunters down the hall
Whistling a naughty striptease tune,
And no one comes into the room
Where you wait alone in the bed,

And no one ever will.  No one.
