The Fight Becomes a Thrill
Once again you stand before my path
With a scorn so worn a smile’s a treat.
I dig for one but you’re in no mood to laugh
Though your rage appeals more than your sweet.

But leaving just enough to feel the carpet burns
From whimpering on wooden floors as though

So as souls and eyes start conforming and searching
And hands and tongues evict the cardigan and cursing,
You quickly cotton on…
