Hello Old Friend
Ulterior urges were settling in for the night,
in stacks of three or four, unbidden but immediately,
surprisingly welcomed, and the conversation actually turned
out to be entertaining but repetitive, like a chipped tooth
rediscovered at night by the tongue circling round the jag
again and again, and that massage was continuing,
but not therapeutic or even considered pleasing
not unlike the snugness of a loose button.
"We can pick this up at a different time"- was not said; but eventually
it might as well have been, for they settled right in like background noise,
in stacks of three or four, unbidden but immediately,
surprisingly welcomed, and the conversation actually turned
out to be entertaining but repetitive, like a chipped tooth
rediscovered at night by the tongue circling round the jag
again and again, and that massage was continuing,
but not therapeutic or even considered pleasing
not unlike the snugness of a loose button.
"We can pick this up at a different time"- was not said; but eventually
it might as well have been, for they settled right in like background noise,
falling into sleepless crevices right next to early morning dreams.
