On the Clock

..........

You’re assessing our Connection
And we’re on the clock:

Prising open with
Bold ideas of Honesty,
Intimacy hard and fast,
Soft smothering Embraces,
Sharp judgemental Gazes
Probing guarded eyes

Thrusting – too deep, too soon

And Me?
Well, not yet and trying to be…
But we’re on the clock Baby,
So pressured – a distortion
Squeezed into some – other – version,
Presented

And efficiently,
Deemed - lacking-
A sensational fuck but
Nothing more:
A waste of the Good Examiner’s time.
