You always disrupt me;
When I ring you for comfort
You wing me, send my
Pudding of a mind
A-splatter on the wall.
You chase me to bed even,
Passionately, not-yourself-at-all,
You bawl your lewd reminders
Down aching avenues of dreams
To shudder me awake.
And then at last youll fake
Your promises and take
Some simpler way, battening
On the eggs youll hatch
Warmly some tea-cosy day.
All this, youll say, was
Merely adolescence, not
The real unpoked you,
Tittupping in high heels
And cellophaned to view.
