i'mmmm a hundred miles baby dont!!!

I wanted to say something like:

"i'mmmmmm
a hundred miles an hour baby dont slow me down i never
get to my point.."

But then as i opened the poetry book i've read another sequence of words like:

Marriage is not

a house or even a tent

it is before that, and colder:

the edgeof the forest, the edge

of the desert

the unpainted stairs

at the back where we squat

outsude, eating popcorn

the edge of the receding glacier

where painfully and with wonder

at having survived even

this far

we are learning to make fire

And i wonder if the same would or could be true for a relationship, and i wonder how

...pride's an interesting thing

a beautiful thing

a necessary thing

a nearly untouchable thing

a dangerous thing

the last straw taken or given

a match

itching for concern...

I sit and wonder in silence, not in peace, no ocean, no sand, no warmth licking my feet sinking into the depth of my life...

I sit here in time

I sit here in peace

I sit here in pain

in the preassure that builds

when two people

cannot meet.

...

s nincs feloldozás. /=there's no dissuolution./
