Multiple Rounds of Wishful Thinking
I gotta get home early before my old lady calls the pigs to pick
nothing magical about telepathy; it is merely one of those
determined to stretch the moments of superficial intimacy
in serious breach of protocol in flicking the file over to me
in ambush, fleeing the drug's powerful expulsive magic. Quickly
a strangely familiar kind of reconnoitering caress which puzzled
yesterday's life-asserting illuminations survived into the real world,
causing it to rupture. What a waste! Still, she most probably would,
in bewilderment, the terrible franticness and urgency released,
walk with the kind of panache I'm exhibiting at this moment.
