I suppose we never quite caught
the weight of our situation till we were being
crushed and smothered by its collapse but,
still high off the exhilaration of our
divine and primitive little practice,
like animals between the sheets,
we both failed to read between the lines and me,
the fine print up your sleeve.
So hopelessly drunk off the here and now
we muffled our precognitive abilities
and we were just jackhammers, big-bangs,
devouring each other with frothing mouths
in a dim room and then it all just ends in silence,
abrupt, frigid and horrifyingly penetrating.
We ended not as the bangs we were but whimpers,
as they say, cold shoulders and mute tongues,
a world war without the violence but equivalent pain
and I never really realized all the shit we never said but
if a picture's worth a thousand words we said it all
more than once a night in bed.
