no charitable hello or glance in my direction
just a graceful walk-by to test my lacking patience
warming sensations, thoughts of sexual situations
dark brown on gold and hand-me-down kisses
denim wrapped candy skin to envelop my senses
congratulations, this autumn has brought with it temptation
inspiring scribbled sonnets on white diner napkins
beige coffee ring stains over my love confessions
heart-choked logic in thump-thump succession
that's all i need is another superficial distraction
to cloud progress by reality's definition
"what a waste" whispered at my funeral procession
but even a bland rhyming scheme can ease my tensions
when my heart seems bigger than my chest's dimensions
