and that’s exactly right
we are made of filaments and zips
old buttons blue cheese and cheap glue
all we do is try to keep each other fixed
the fragments together as if we are vases
our pretty flowers severed and useless
I am swallowed by your dialogue
cool pool of letters and jet black gags
my throat muffled again squashed dictionary flat
what then the word for love among friends
perhaps no word only the sensation
the differences that swell similarities that chime

Written: October 2019.
Explanation: A simple poem written in my own time, having watched the mini-series adaptation of John Green's 'Looking for Alaska.' There may be a few poems inspired by the series and book, especially as the latter means a great deal to me. This follows the previous few poems immediately before this.
As I am working ******* my university manuscript, there will be few poems until the start of next year. Nevertheless, feedback is welcome. A link to my Facebook writing page can be found on my HP home page.
