I don’t know just how to tell you
But yesterday when we were
————- engaged
on our boss’s desk
I was whisked away through hallways
of celebrity faces
and bodies
until I settled upon
(insert favorite celebrity here)
I saw into His eyes and
I felt your/His touch and smelled Him/you
and
He and I fought pirates as
you and i fought back noises
He and I rode horseback through an orchard as
you and i rode bareback through an office
and at that moment when I
almost got there (cuz i didn’t –
get
there)
He was who I saw on the insides of my eyelids
and i forgot
we (you and i)
existed
