Love In The Bank
by Chris Sorrenti
Some say direct contact with me is not wise
"Too many missing pieces -
that boy's zig zag - the sorcerer’s apprentice
pulling rabbits out of the mad hat
for the rest of his life”
Well – looky-looky!
by the mere power of suggestion
this magician’s just talked you into
writing down his phone number
and though you may never use it
consider it dawling 'love in the bank'
Yes admittedly
I’ll always suffer from rabbit tooth cuts
a missing piece or three
but the sound of your voice has healed me again
enough so to last a lifetime if necessary
though I was the one who called you!

| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 06/22/07 at 04:28 PM A bit of sarcasm, a bit of irony, a lot of imagination; perhaps the best way to deal with "old loves". :0) |
