you don't have time to clear your throat
by the time we meet eyes
we have lied
then of course the next thing
is to assault and batter
your mouth with mine
my nouns threaten and verbs fist up
all we can do
there's just enough time
to drop our faces in hands and hands in our laps
to silently meet all blind
and inchoate.
