Core
Reinforce me, please.
I ask nice within the tension
Of every denizen,
As love languors so faintly,
And as I ask quite quaintly,
Please, please, oh, please reinforce me.
The things I say,
The things I do,
The things I think,
The things I chew.
All of it, reinforce.
Reinforce the reinforcement.
Shower the praise
Until I'm soaked,
Then over-soak me.
I need to store it
Like nuts for the winter,
This approval glow.
For there are times
When this brook is barren.
And I forget I shouldn't have a carren
Of what other's think.
And, wet with wonder,
I remember we're all submarines
We either stink together or sink together.
What blasphemy,
The core of humanity.
