It’s good for me to love you
I can feel how it helps me, love
it even improves my vocabulary
I know: many hone in on the impropriety
blood cells could care less
glands secrete with a laser focus
this faucet has no off switch
for the kissing’s not just about now
but it percolates into possible futures
I know: the rim of virtual against real
the sentiment’s true if the molecules aren’t
and I can Tai Chi step between demon and angel
I’ve a deftness no ethics can bind
and a conscience that swims in the heart
it’s good for me to love you
I can feel how it helps us, love
so take a wild walk and purloin this pen
