Collision

Interconnectedness 
Life with all its twisted 
Train wrecks
Contorted metal
grappled around
steel, disfigurement.
And at the heart 
of it all, I want to crash 
with you. Be a witness 
to your incriminating truth
Twisted in ways
censorship can't explain 
Remove stop signs at intersections 
and T Bone with you,
Bleep certain words
as I drive right through 
Swerve on curves
Creep through school crossings 
and race towards
Photogenic finishes 
Connectedness 
like snowfall on Georgia freeways
cautiously making incredible 
feats of disbelief 
writing  under the influence
of you, hard to avoid 
your touch even following 
the six second rule.
I want to rub paint with you
have fender benders
and crash our bodies in ways
our spirits become unrecognizable 
as to who belongs to who...
Remember how intersection negotiations
and lane integrity created anxiety 
when you first learned to drive?
Collide
