Love Poem: Wanting

Wanting

Such a crowded bus today
mindless chaotic botanical
I take the first seat available
I wanted to sit
next to the beautiful ebony lady
the smell of her perfume
leaving me spellbound...

Next to me the babbling veteran
crashing against my legs
he say's he's an architect
I smell the alcohol
an instant choking silence...

In between the confusion and chatting
and difficulty breathing
I wanted to share my genes
with the beautiful ebony lady
and jump out of the pool
that was drowning me..
