You Wouldn't

Plan to kiss no one without secret intent.

Plan to kiss no one without meticulous method

Plan to kiss no one without a hidden plan.

 

Now

You know

Who you are.

 

To think I should speak with you

Is pessimist-dismissed

So quickly

The pen drops

Before the thought

Crosses

The multiverse

Mind

Contained

In paper Cranes.

 

To think you would want

To want

To talk to me

Is so ridiculous

So out-there

So cover-up

Alien-conspiracy-theory

Secret-society

Cryptic-code

Cartography.

 

The phonetic

Background

Of my throat

Shuts down

Shuts up.

Vowels in my stomach

Bunch.

Curves

Of your face

Shadows of your mind

Overlay mine

To camouflage.

 

I could

And would love you,

Not ten fathoms

But deep enough

So

We are suspended where light waves

Cannot bend

Breaking on coral

Breaking on coma

 

Waking up sleeping sand.
