All Stressed Out and No One to Choke

Are you stressed out?

Nope. Are you?

Wait! Never mind, don’t tell me. It will just stress me out.

Talk Vs. Text

tète-à-tète

heart to heart

face to face

intercourse of the articulated

elucidated, revelatory kind

I want to look into your eyes

to get the lowdown

the scoop

the inside story

talk to me

touch me

with your hands and with your voice

hefty confabulation

round and heavy and full

please

no spare and skinny text

so lean and emaciated and gaunt

I want to cry for all that’s missing

give me the heart

and the thrust

and the point

from your mouth and not your fingers

whisper, sigh

shout or mutter

doesn’t matter

breathe into my ear
