she was the kind of
unbridled gorgeous
that grabs a tongue
twists it into a balloon animal
or maybe it was a sourdough pretzel
I don't know, it doesn't matter
my mind would always
try to outrace my heart
but it would end up in a dead-heat
we kept bumping into
each other
in different parts of the US of A
Baltimore, New Orleans
Key West
she boarded my ship
The USS Bushnel
The Burning Bush they called her,
towed her into mothballs in Philly
then blew her up later for target practice
off the shore of New Jersey of all things
she said she liked the way I angled my sailor cap
all I could do was smile
we had our epic moments tho
in the backseat of her brother's car for instance
here and there and and a bit of everywhere
etched in my glass head
smoothed by the sands in the Atlantic
never forgotten
my sextant kept track of her
my spyglass spotted her on facebook
modern romance is digital
not the paperback variety,
not the movie with Albert Brooks
No
it was the allure of social media
modern romance
modern romance

Re: modern romance
Great beginning to this poem:
she was the kind of
unbridled gorgeous
that grabs a tongue
twists it into a balloon animal
or maybe it was a sourdough pretzel
I'm envious of that writing.

Re: modern romance
Wow! That’s pretty amazing
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---
