Screening Myself

In tight spaces lonely people meet
In the dark and moist areas of life people often come together
Momentarily
Too many people are afraid of a kiss, not because it will change anything, but because it won't
A note from a clandestine lover at a rehab is worth more to me than all the works of Beethoven
The musicality of proto-love cannot be granted access to the realm of art:
It is too beautiful to be called 'art'
It is the enamoration of lost souls (a cliché I know -- but true nonetheless)
A loving glimpse into the eyes of the Other that no one (not even a philosopher) can conceptualize!
Thank whatever Force holds this galaxy together ( I'm being Star Warsy silly now)
Permits such things
A certain woman, a Vietnamese woman with a name that I cannot pronounce, made me feel like a soul capable of embrace:
Oh! that it would come, and that Wordsworth and whatever poets called out to nature in her country lived today would applaud and call us blessed!
