i like to think there are freudian slipknots
that are the bondage of joy
and you are putting a little bow
around the lasso that draws me to you
i have to tell you
i can not know we will make love tonight
because now i have no other thought
now i only have you in mind
i have your curves and
your wrap-around embrace
lap dancing around my cerebellum
sox will fling off and your fingers
will create skinner box impulses
that i can only respond to with endeavor
there is one night laid out before me
in 2,027 scenarios
all of them in need
of some degree of engagement
all of them on a spiral staircase
spinning in my head
all of them frolicking inside the memory
of your kiss and your naked delight
all of them because one of them
will eventually be realized
with you
