Lost in my Mind

It started with the way you -
where did it start? -
perhaps it was the smile,
no, I think it was the accent that shows up for certain, specific vowel sounds,
and then I think it was that look you get sometimes-
that momentary dissolution into reaction
that I find so charming that I often feel unable to resist the urge
to say bizarre little things
just to watch you delight over them, for an instant or so.

My head is running away from me
and taking all my good sense with it.

A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left

Nothing nothing nothing
sounds the way I want it to
or says the things I want to say
without telling the whole internet
all my dirty secrets.
