a complex dance.
it may seem mechanical, but there are
a thousand variations:
tic-tac-toe for the couple.
So we go through the motions,
Follow everyone else
(or be pioneers), falling into
a rhythm, predicable, but no
less pleasurable. we rise
and fall, come into and
out of focus, the pace increasing,
blood pumping, hearts clouded
eyes closed breathing staca

— OHHHHH GOD —
Now for Christ’s sake
A vacant stare.
Our thirst is slake:
Do you still care?
