a rough full-contact love

I always seem to be craning my neck

to get a better view of life.

I always seem to be motioning my fingers

toward a destination unknown.

I always seem to be sticking out my tongue

in the middle of snowstorms whenever I

have a fever to lower my

body temperature by a couple of degrees.

I always seem to be hooking opposing index fingers

into the corners of my mouth

in an attempt to stretch my

cheeks beyond their limit.

I always seem to be on the verge of

something terrific like becoming employed again.

I always seem to be thinking up new ways of kissing;

I’ve perfected a technique whereby I follow through

by brushing up against your incisors with my

lower lip and flicking the nerve linked to your

throat muscle with the tip of my tongue.

I always seem to be mentioning your name

in mixed company while I’m in the middle

of introducing myself to strangers.

I always seem to be power-walking

on tightropes made of eggshells

whenever I’m beating off around your bush.

I always seem to be going this-a-way,

that-a-way, and ending up in Piscataway and

I always seem to be able

to stop my love on a dime.

Not a fan of kissing after Covid.
Remember the lyrics to Purple Haze?
Was it, "Excuse me while I kiss the sky"
Or was it, "Excuse me while I kiss this guy".
I like writing that inspires me.

[Philip Gaber]

Sky. Easy mistake. Guy, sky, rye. Our government fucked everything up more than the virus. I may never vote again.

[GlendaK]

I know it seems depressing. But we need to at least put forth an effort. Even if we fail, we can at least say we tried. I don't trust Trump and Harris is incompetent. Maybe before Nov we will have an enlightening.

[Philip Gaber]

Do you like Bobby Kennedy? He's a non an entity unfortunately. Real people don't ever run for office.

[Philip Gaber]

He's the only one I liked.

I may have to write in Dave Chapelle again.

[Philip Gaber]

This song is kinda hot. Christine Aguilera singing an oldie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT3Q3rL-xD0

[GlendaK]

I'll go watch. I like her.

[Philip Gaber]

It's good.

[GlendaK]

Wow. I can't believe it's been that long

[GlendaK]

Yeah she's one of my favorite female singers. She's got the moves and she's beautiful in a ho-ish kinds way (:

[Philip Gaber]

Just like I like them. (For future reference.) Just kidding. Yeah, it's been a minute. Where's she been? I miss her.

a rough full-contact love. Anthony used to tell me he wanted to count the bones in my spine. Is it that sort of thing? Are you Anthony? It's ok if it's you, Anthony. I know you can be a million people.

[Philip Gaber]

Were you in the service? I see the cane.

[Philip Gaber]

I'm not Anthony because I never care how many bones a woman has in her spine or her little toe. I'm one in a million. The real deal. I'm beginning to like you as much as Anthony. We have multitudes of similarities, methinks.

[GlendaK]

I was hooked on this era https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Rg3sAb8Id8

[GlendaK]

I got the wrong video lol...It was supposed to be Ain't No Other Man. No, I was in a car wreck. It's just a metal plate that bothers me sometimes. No biggie.

[Philip Gaber]

Yass! So goddamn good.

[GlendaK]

Yeah, your written poetry or prose is unusual. Here. I absolutely adore this. How do you do it? I love the eccentric.

My heart. Remember I said I'd love to be friends But we can not because we'd end up destroying each other. Remember when I fucked you for over an hour until I drew blood from your arse and I could smell your sex in my bathroom

[Philip Gaber]

We're gonna be okay. We are going to be friends. Maybe lovers. Just figure that in before you put the cabash on us. Don't do it yet. You and I both deserve love.

[Philip Gaber]

Who cares how I do it? I just wanna be loved by somebody. That's all I give a s**t about.

[Philip Gaber]

Metallica. The gift of the Gods.

[GlendaK]

I could only find kibosh. Is that Yiddish?

[GlendaK]

Are you into rough contact love?

[GlendaK]

Excuse me...FULL contact ...Wow

[Philip Gaber]

Not really. But if you want it, I'll see what I can do. Cabsh means put it down; it's done. I like how you went to Yiddish. You're smart. I am Jewish.

[Philip Gaber]

Ready for whatever you want/need, mhm.

[GlendaK]

I know a little bit. And, baby, I can guess the rest.

[Philip Gaber]

Right on, baby.

[GlendaK]

That was Lynyrd Skynyrd. It came to me when I read your item here. I figure this might be love to you. Who am I to judge

[Philip Gaber]

I got it, baby. I know more than a little.
