A few minutes with her and I smile to myself She is a well-loved child, Zero personality. I am being mean, of course, She is lovely and promising Sometimes dull, it's true, But doesn't she make that up with her bright, springing eyes? The peculiar kind of mirth that you and I lack, She doesn't, The kind that comes before a thought can occur. In a twisted way, then, I like you more because we have less We will have less We are not lesser, anyhow. I kissed her and it tasted like cloth And I missed your seafoam sandy lips so much that I sighed She is so lovely, she mistook it for a moan. I wrapped my legs around her The softness suffocating my bones The coarseness of your palms and the harshness in your voice They come back to me in flashes With her, I'm no better than left alone.
