Curiosity may welcome a catch
On one’s lifeline
Who
Or whatever
Might form a match

How high are the walls to be scaled?
Or failed?
Should the match be accepted
Or two hearts be neglected
Fettered
Fawned
Or forgotten?

Organic or mechanical
Dependant on satarical
Gest
Of the determined guest
Who guessed
And outshone the rest

Who gets above
And who beneath?
Should one ignore those carnivorous teeth
In the broad mouth that speaks
Harmless?
To combat lonliness
To enable growth
To accept companionship

We become mutual offerings
Shunting the easy complacency
Of yesterdays familiar comfort
Will it be enough
To hold aloft
To commit
Even condemn ourselves within reason
Irrational reason
Subtle, fallible belief…

Who lies above
And who beneath?
