my foolish inclinations

words are all i can give her
she is beyond my reach
touch, i smile
at her with outrageous stories
similes and metaphors
i bandy my intelligence
show her i have something to say
that i'm different
but she knows i'm not
she is being reasonable
showing good sense
i touch the keys that are not keys
long distance phone calls
electronic impulses
i argue without arguing
i beg without a cup
this is the point
where i should step back
try to relax and examine
my foolish inclinations
i light a cigarette
walk to the kitchen for coffee
pick up the pen and continue

...ain't that always the way of it,though? - I always keep weapon for foolish inclinations loaded & ready for action, .44 caliber - you need heavy duty stopping power for this kind of thing...and ain't it a hell of a grand day?...thanks, cons, I enjoy a great read.
