My Five Senses
The pitch the peak of senses piqued
each completely
Let me see
searching my memory
biking down Laurier
locking eyes with a hawk flying in the opposite lane
is probably my most memorable favourite sight seen
Epitome of sound
if I went bird I couldn't pick only one
so another favourite song
the resting heartbeat
of a well loved machine
that deep rolling hum
felt before seen
the sound of love
so not that different from a bird
Smell's
another hard sense to pin down
puppy breath is one that'll have me rolling on the ground
Can't touch this
dancing rapt wrapped in a python
feeling the weight of it's smooth cool mass
feeling me
never more embraced
And then there's taste
this one's the most fun
Ripe Organic BC Bing Cherries
shared with a girlfriend over Scrabble
we lost track of each other
the game
everything
taking tiny little bites
enthralled with the pop of the skin
the sweet swollen flesh
scarlet oozing streaming down our...
I looked at her
and said what we both were thinking
"I feel like a dirty old man."
We finally got the cherry thing!
