here i turn on the faucet,

where the words

get wet and begin to bubble

with a romantic binge

that makes it feel

a little heavy in each breath.

together it stimulates

and nurtures each other

until it becomes

like the cast of two lovers

in a movie part

when bodies come together

in the water.

that rub down of massage

with such a focus,

leads one to believe

that it’s great when words

can create so much excitement

of a “get laid” quality all of its own.
