Hook. Line and sinker Aug 17, 2012

  

I might be neck deep in it

quicksand licking at the my bottom lip

but she won't let me drown

 I have her hook deep in me

only I'm not sure which one of us

put it there

 she complaining I stare too much

and yet doing all she can

to call attention to herself

 so I can't look anywhere else

 later asking for a phone number

 from me I'm sure she doesn't really need

 my brain rattled by it all the contradictions

and maybe my cyber nanny is right

 when she tells me my poet friend

just wants to have control

 tugging on the fishing line

from time to time

to make certain I'm still on the other end

 I squirm but I can't escape

and I'm not sure I want to

being hooked and taking it all in Hook line and sinker

is better than being set loose

to have no connection

to drift aimlessly in the high seas

 for no purpose
