The queer doe leaps to a stop near the other doe
haltingly steps closer to nuzzle her friend’s neck
proceeds to mount forelegs beside the other’s spine
who jolts away twisting a startled look around
the queer doe doubletakes in the same direction
staring as if demanding, “Where is the culprit?”
Glenn who guilted to be more Christian than I did
Sam who seemed to suit ‘til our plans didn’t align
Cole who could not talk me into conversation
No fault break-ups when one person in a passion
faces a friend who prefers remaining unchanged
in my bumbling way I kept courting chance, then
Dirk confessing that dating was insufficient
me conceding to the urge to believe him home
proceeds to mount forelegs beside the other’s spine
who jolts away twisting a startled look around
the queer doe doubletakes in the same direction
staring as if demanding, “Where is the culprit?”
Glenn who guilted to be more Christian than I did
Sam who seemed to suit ‘til our plans didn’t align
Cole who could not talk me into conversation
No fault break-ups when one person in a passion
faces a friend who prefers remaining unchanged
in my bumbling way I kept courting chance, then
Dirk confessing that dating was insufficient
me conceding to the urge to believe him home
