"...to keep you
in perpetual uncertainty
frustration
discontent and
torture
by neither loving you
as much as you want
nor cutting you adrift..."
Phillip Lopate
..........
SOMETIMES WE PANT
CONTENT WITH ACCENT
CONTRACTIONS PRESCRIBED
YET LIMITED
YOU RESEMBLE
SOMEONE PASSIVELY ENGAGED
THEN THERE'S ME
JUST TEMPTING FATE
