Crass-Beauty Spectrum Lost Lover's Poem

by Adam Gaucher - Sagittarius

His urine smelled like pumpkin pie.
I'm sorry I couldn't tell you what
it tasted like.  I could only tell
you that I didn't believe in marriage.
Partially because I don't want rice
in my ear.

You turned away clutching your
fine plastic cutlery, cigarette drooping
flawless from your lips.  Your body
was hidden in the moon-lit
crowd of millions who seemed too
invisible to be standing there.
The train crept eastward.
You were aboard waving so long
to life.

And I told you of days when
there were nothing but cold things
to lean against.  Only once in every
blue lobster can someone like you
bring forth her warm butterscotch
ways.  You had the power to
melt my overture and fingerprints.
We invented something fresh and
quenching, and now I'm left simply
missing your goose bumps.

In the morning I asked if you'd
miss simple minds singing the songs
on our soundtrack.  The one which
we would dance until orgasms and
past.  (The one worth millions we
said we'd never sell).  You turned
away clutching your fine blank
pages, which you know as well
as I do, will now turn brittle before
being filled.
