I am not capable of love but I want you
with all my selfish rationality
and greed and hidden naivete

I will not thaw for you but
I'll let you into my thoughts and maybe even
my rarely coaxed joie de vivre

I want you beside me in everything
I want you and a car and a blur
of endless highways diners motels

I am not capable of love but I adore
your tough shell and tender innards
I want to be your partner, your equal

Neither of us believe in soulmates
we are already complete
inhuman in all the best ways

And we found each other
and settled into a strange fit
in our monstrous forms
