Hobby Horse Rider

      Though it’s still partly cloudy in this street 
   & everybody follows the king’s fleet,
I’m following you to the ends of this world,
where I’ve replaced everything with your word,
I remain elsewhere like the empty plea 
because you’re that fire burning inside me.
Though those agencies that create duets seem
to believe that a system employing well over
2, 000, 000 couples with infusions of bright visions
will need certain clearly specified characteristics
with objectives & noting costs to protect the new moon.  
You’re that whirlwind blowing everything away,
that’s why in this play, I pray not to be the next prey. 
I’m too late this morning & I won’t catch any bus, 
though traders in their market won’t understand us.
To them, we’re actors in a tragic-comedy stage.
& we made a bold decision to try out the phage.
Give me your hands for a warmth of touch
& I won’t be in operational form in that skutch.
 Give me your mouth for a kiss
  when I listen to your coos.
Give me your whole body for burying me completely
when I pledge fealty.
