Some of us simply don't want to laugh

|-
but it's funny
how we watch what we say
when in the presence of our lover's(s') ears

because nothing either of us could say
would change the fact that
I want to be with you right now.

I wonder how many husbands
have gently raped their wives to sleep
because of something they had (only) just said
-|
                                                                     |
The words are our friends. They tell us
how hard our lover(s) is trying
to keep up the illusion
that they want us
when in reality
they awfully
do.
