To Put Out Or Not To Put Out

we swirl around each other
in conversation
we dance with one another
with our eyes
yet ... 
we always hold back
we speak in reverse
like-

"already involved"
"involved already"
"coming out of a bad one"
"a bad one coming out"
"not my type"
"type me not"
"you seem great, but i just can't "
"i can't justify your seeming great"
"there is no chemistry"
"chemistry is no where"

i wish there was more
because we know 
better
but ...

ah ... 
the desperate souls
... they speak from a tongue that is older than
sanskrit

and in this 

we all just want to feel alive 
and connected 
to the expanse
called the universe

INFINITY

yeeaahh!
