variations on theme
tall grande venti pike, the brew of the day
another day, another Monday like any other Friday
the tedium of the calendar, the monotony of the hour
the repetition of faces and salutes that adorns the day
the plan to go here or there, the beach the lake the hike
the pursuit of this or that distraction
the twinkling boy in red or green or blue
the desirous embrace filled with the promise
of a momentary passion
better yet, the latest love interest
the smell, the touch, the hairy glutes
the smooth countenance, the tight desire
it's all a game, isn't it--we play at living
and sometimes even at loving
at caring, wanting
because we have to -- it's the art of living
we play at it because the real thing is too scary
it's easy to deny our heart, to hold the silence,
it's easier to pursue the friend as bedfellow
than risk feeling real love, the commitment of hearts.
to understand emotional fulfillment
sometimes just takes the sudden rebirth of words "yes, I love you"
