COOL OFF

i can't just fall. beautiful person, with a brain and guts. a story i want to know. this isn't the time to stir things up. you know, people have their own lives and wouldn't much appreciate me butting in. i get so interested, i can hardly help it. early this morning, half-awake, still high, i dreamt about the scenario. awkward, standing. i ask if i can be honest. it needs to be agreed upon before i tell stories of attraction that linger. "oh, me too" you say? "i didn't know how to go about it"
