Comfortable Chemistry
A Disguise and a Barrier
We met when Spring
Was fading into Summer
A time when the days were
Growing longer
My skin becoming thicker
And you were growing
A kind of cocoon around yourself
❀
Awkward moments slowly
Turned into a comfortable chemistry
Your presence stopped taking
My breath away and instead
Eased oxygen into my lungs
With a gentleness that
Softened my smile
❀
Spring’s flowers
Are giving way to
Summer’s sun yet again
And I still crave you
Like a heartbeat but
Now it is with a kind
Of patience and acceptance
Rather than a fierce ache
❀
You look at me expectantly and
I let words tumble towards you and
Wonder if you know the pointless sentences
Are all just a disguise and a barrier for the
Most overused and under-meant
Words in the whole world
❀
-I love you

The Squeeze
– The Pricey Luxury Badge vs the Hovering Hulk – Most of us have a problem with car doors putting dents on the sides of our cars; we'd like to take up two spaces but then we'd get key'd out of spite if we did. Currently the 'Compact' spots are occupied by Schlong-Schlinging oversized trucks that have their Tuckus' so far out they block the drive through aisles; I'm probably the only one that's noticed.
