you and I/we
aren’t normal
except to ourselves
delicately suspended

between
platonic and love
a gold ring
on a high wire
sometimes teetering

to the left
other times the right
preferring to keep
our options open we have

changed the rules
adapted for the occasion
our dating game
a wheel of fortune
to allow others

on the outside
spin till dizzy
of what label
can be called upon
to define
you and I/we
