CROSSING THE HUMAN RIVER


How nice to see you
The morning after San Valentines
At the San Ysidro Motel
Or is it a rest stop
A Motor Inn
A Secondary Inspection

You looked as beautiful
As the last time
A little tense
Holding steadfastly
To your pen
Prettier than any
Of the princesses
In the millions
Of fairytales

The morning after
We tried to workout
The meaning of love
Does love=work?
Energy is love always
Love is the reason
The planet moves
Erratically but valiantly

Love must be friendship
Another one said:
You should have brought us
Coffee & donuts

Is he in the
Not so
Secret Police?

Friendship & rivalry
Like the Anglo-Saxon metaphor
Of tough love

Forget about sugar!
But I give him credit
For the coffee request

If I take him along
There’s always the risk
Of addiction
To spicy food
Spicy women

Then he would be asking
For cold beer
Not necessarily better
Just different
Different enough to survive

I find military prophets
Enjoy fine liquor
I like tequila but
The risk never disappears

A tough lover knows how to hit
The inner most sensitive parts
Of the heart
The cerebrum is okay
The heart is always
The best
