What to Assume When She Doesn't Respond

Maybe she's getting 

her back blown out

by a guy with more length

and less girth.


Maybe it's the reaction

that her skin has to mine

when heightened immunity

meets stubborn cologne.


Maybe it's how my eyes close

while hers look up from my shoulder

like lashes can lock doors

for the night.


Maybe it's the way

that I inhale so deeply

when close together

as though I'll never

experience those pheromones

again.


Maybe she's worried

that it's merely the idea of her

but she's altered the thoughts

of a mind hard to sway.


Maybe we're all warned

not to pet burning dogs

and the best of us do

regardless


since the Doomsday Glacier's fake

ain't nothing that a bottle won't drown

and how it all ends

is what matters

right?
