public love affair

I gave myself to the world.

Cafés, trains, streets

and me.

Strangers give the best love.

Practical. Magical.

Unknown eyes and discreet smiles

A flirty secret pulling her skirt up

- no touch.

Coffee, cigarettes, the people

and me.

My head tilts back in ecstasy, neck tickled with kisses. Kisses pressed by the chatter.

The words a mess of whos whys whens.

what what what? a controversy.

Society and me - fucking tragic lovers.

Don't bother me with commitment.
