It Was A Chemical Reaction

Performed at Harakfest 2010 spring show: You and Two Others Like This

Originally Written February 02, 2010

It was a chemical reaction.
It happened
within the fraction of a second
something like a black candescence
This minor infraction caused by a-like magnetic attraction
The opposition of repulsion
Deep breathes filled lungs like convulsions.
Leading me into this death trap of explosions.
In action you work diligently to cause my inaction.
Intelligently you inject me with this infection
So that I most gratefully and gracefully
fall into your arms.
Dancing thoughts of you entangle my mind
leaving me wrapped up in you like tango
you are now calling my number like bingo
I’m speechless, trying to put letters
into words like lingo.
Almost to the top like Ringo
because stars is all I see from
being woozy and wooed by you.
Asking me to go from dating to relating
and I stare at you as you are anticipating
the moment you have been patiently waiting
are we really ready for this.
I’m not scared of going forward
but of the things that I might miss
But in the midst of my contemplation
I leave my answer encrypted on the softness of your lips
And in your amazement, all you could do is just look.
We’re official everybody…I put it on Facebook
