intimate

does anyone look up
words in the dictionary anymore?
there are 13 definitions
only one which mingles body
fluids. how can we ignore
the scope of the word
distill it down to taking off
clothes? intimacy definitely includes
sexual relations but is not exclusive to that

the nuances are important. but the online
euphemism for sex doesn't allow these
nuances. all encounters are painted
the same. of course i know the difference
between making love and fucking. i, like
any educated person, have been party
to both, as well the interchange
of dinner ho, date rape,
soul rape, slut. but you
don't want to know these intimate
details, you don't want to visit
the consequences of your/my
actions. my last short term
relationship-almost 2 years but
not quite, not quite
18 months, a more
or less
sit
u
a
tion

fraught with masks, an aDd
eliptical void, a game serial surreal
a construction of who might have been
in different timez indifferent people
a fire full of leaves. goodbying in goodbuys
comparison shopping, object this fie fiddle dee
but i thought there was love.
i finally know the difference from lust.

i began this with you in mind
depraved circumstands between you &
the dreams you slaughtered
with lack of ambition. how novelty
wore off so soon. sometimes a child

it's more than kind of our choice.
it's a point of view.

it's ok if you couldn't love me.
