neutered
marching across
the patio with
fernet and a coke
she beams
rises
moves to greet
me
precious minutes left
i tell
her
she moves in
real and warm
we press
together
i know the drink
will catch
up
before long
but in that embrace
the pressure swelling
my head
capitulates
my limbs should
feel like i was
just electrocuted
yet
i am absurdly
alive and
ranting dramatic
overcome with
such a
minor success
my romance is
childish
gorgeously
naive
i'm in my teens
again
feeling too much
optimism
its bad for my skin
and worse
on the
heart
i read too much
into
these things
i tell
myself
not to get
attached
so fast
but this gamble
of nature
neutered by
reason and experience
is the only
way i know
