she was ASTONISHEDgiggled 

                                Did you just fart? it was clear despite asking around her toothbrush

You needed toothpaste

they stood side by side framed in the bathroom mirror above the sink 

                                                                         he relished their intimacy

You did didn’t you?

he wasnt embarrassed bodily functions functioneddidnt ask permission 

                                                                              Tooothpaste

You have yours an I was trying to get the last for me

I’d have thrown it away a couple days agocan’t believe you’re able to express mo . .

. . Waste not want not

he pinched the foot of the tubeused the sink lip as an edge and pressing hard with his hand dragged the tube back towards him virtually scraping the paste inside up to its neckthe opening 

                                                                             he got hers 

now getting his pinching hard pressing ever harderleaning on one arm dragging the tube scraping it empty the exertion made him fart 

                but he did get his 

he screwed the cap back on it tossed it into the turquoise tin pail they used as a wastebasket

   Waste not, want not . . you fartedyes.

Yes I farted 

              Wasnt like I shit in my pants baby

she giggled 

           meeting her eyes in the mirror as he went to begin brushing his teeth she burst out laughing toothpastedsaliva sprayed the mirror

he stepped back while she continued losing her shit

when the bout exhausted itself he looked through the speckles at her she had tears in her eyes

                                                                                                     You spatter the mirror

You farted you made me.
