every couple fights
about money about attention about
harmless searing flirtations
temptations, indiscretions and
thoughts
every couple fights about passion
and lack of passion
about furniture, fixtures, fantasies and
families
all those dysfunctional families and
we don't fight about any of that
because we are
not a couple
and we fight about that
knowing what i want you
choose to escape and
knowing what you want i
senselessly cling
a mess of depressed repression
unappealing
stealing every ounce of hope
from the air
and you repeat (repeat, repeat) that
we are NOT a couple but
what about this love?
