Literature Text

Count the days on aching fingers,
digital clocks, metered mail.
Aim to compare love to a summer’s day—
rate it on the pollen index instead.
Whine and pace, declare affection in grandiose shows.
Fill the audience with the unintended and the uninterested.
Intend to move mountains, cross rivers, build bridges.
Realize that you’re not much for adventure
and retreat into the safety and warmth of the indoors.
Consider the future for a moment:
one where you are old and grey
and the shadow figure lying next to you
takes the shape of the Unknown.
It's been weeks since I've done one of these things. 

100 themes challenge. Weeks.
