North and South

ahh that taste that comes

from your mouth

there’s no struggle

sweeter than the pressure

we put on ourselves

 

driven from above and below

latitudes, attitudes never match

dragging in the undertow

you change the sweater in the middle of the mess

 

could I interest you in

some East meets West

heading for the mountains and the beach

we need the contrast 

 

dressing for disaster

I’m sorry but

I didn’t pack

extra plans
