Casual

An innocuous invite to listen to Smiths and make out
could so easily turn into a care-free romp
to some P- Funk.

Those were the cavalier days
before concerns
about others’
feelings
were considered.

Oh what I would do
to see her smile again.

She turned out to be nothing
like I wanted.

But for a brief moment
we were there
she had let go
and we were free
and alive.
