I admit
I haven't tried to stop
wondering what might happen
when we touch

Whether it will be just another
dripping breath
or the collision of two pieces
of the same machine
that would've manufactured
blank ammunition during the wars
and flame throwers
for the peace rallies
if only we'd come together
sooner.
