Reverification of The Senses

She was closing in
all the spaces:
it was what he didn’t say
more than what he did;
he couldn’t even figure.

He allied himself with time,
waiting it out,
She fell into bed with
a woman in a silk man’s suit.

Imagine! she called him back
from his computations:
you’re on a beach-
do you see yourself or
are you you.

He sees a submarine.
She feels a wet leg
slide between hers.

She can’t believe it.

We’re too much alike,
she concludes:
very hypnotisable.

A six year bad trance.
Again, hallucinations.

I love poems that do that to me.

:hi:

yeah guys always see that.

I'm not sure I get this one...

Is she falling in love with someone else while he's busy in his mind?

Anyway it's most intriguing!

Thank you...:hug:

I don't quite get it either.. so I just read it until my mind made it up hehe.

To me it's like..
describing a couple that are drifting apart (or overly contempt). Common day to day, repeats.. but when they get in the sack they get lost in each other to the point of forgetting the mundane.

I know I'm a pev but this is where I got with it :D

:hi:

me thinks she is having an affair;)

and contemplating divorce:shrug:

but, i could be all wet :dunce:

:hi:
