They both gaze
at each other
or so it seems
behind the smiles
and the glittering
calculations are occurring
What does it weigh?
What is it worth?
Will my family like it?
Does it own shorter skirts?
How long will it stay?
How well does it get paid?
Does it suck and keep the change?
Is it nasty, is it thirsty?
Will it lick my open wounds?
Does it want me?
Does it need me?
Will this one cheat on me too?
She’s dashing and formulating equations
He is dazzling and will his hypothesis prove
After the moonlight’s still soft glow
When her waist grows
When his hair goes
Beneath the silken threads and golden bows
Is there love below?
Their eyes lie
to each other
“Let’s chance it tonight who knows”
