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 wear without distance,
Though despite my obvious need.
***
A toilet seat ancient and bakelite,
It’s comfort nothing but supreme;
Search long but a win it would seem:
Aah, it’s surface so smooth and white…
