Hardly Anymore Anyway

We pass by in the street
and in hallways indiscreet
looking quickly off to the side
avoiding those truths we have lied
each to each in the darkness
as we exchanged sweet caresses
feeling desires transmutation
suppressing logic’s lamentation
yielding to the imperative
of biology’s firm initiative
overwhelmed overcome
over-and-out and then some

Yes we did once long ago
and now it is no more
I would you know
if you offered
or even exposed
but then again
now we are older
no longer bolder
still in all the memory
stirs me into revelry
Oh I would – I could – I should
yet no…

not anymore.
