Description at eight in the morning,
our messy kitchen -
it's not perfect nothing
ever will be and i'm okay,

euphoric, even, watching my best friend -
in a grey slant of light
leaking through the turquoise curtain,
he asks me, "are you all right?"

and i can say honestly,
still in the awe of his sunflower eyes,
"i've never been happier."

"sunflower eyes" is so pretty and I love the "people are just meat with personality" bit too, even if it isn't really part of the Poem

this moment was preceded by him waking me up out of a dead sleep to tell me "people are just meat with personality" and i wish i could include that somehow b/c it really rounds out why im marrying this weirdo

Well, here it is in comments, at least.

What he said reminds me of a short story by Terry Bisson called "They're Made Out of Meat," in his book Bears Discover Fire.

I think it's a fine reason to marry someone. among others. XD
