The futile proffering of lush ladies nudged

to my grudging company, on the supposition that I might

(flightily) switch love-objects with a slick

flick of the heart, is a sickening waste of time.

I mime my misery in the blackness of the night, silently

styling a vain hope that she'll recognize

the size and stature of my grand romantic vision -

the elision of our two souls, in paradise.

Precisely what that might mean, or how the sum

might come to an added whole, no longer matters;

I'm shattered by the sheer delectability of sadness -

glad that no other thought finds room in my head.

     Unfit for friendship in this state of mind?

     Another verdict might be hard to find.
