How I play the fool
     holding you
As though we were forever
     lovers
Like those embracing sculptures
     in the Louvre;
Forgetting for the moment
     you hardly know
     my name--
This moment's just another
     game
I play--
A fleeting chance to prove
That I am still desired
And you are capable
     of love.
