Our relationship warm and snug,
Intimacy not easy to define;
The closeness had been so benign -
What was there left to do but shrug?
***
Security not guaranteed
No matter time and circumstance.
Unhinged by too close our distance,
Though despite my desperate need.
***
A toilet seat ancient and bakelite,
Comfort superlative, supreme;
Search long but I won it would seem:
Aah, it’s surface so smooth and white…
