Geometry
Who are you,
relatively speaking?
Are you parallel,
or skew?
Although we seem to intersect
it may be mere illusion.
You could be infinitely far away
playing
--dangerous explosives!--
fusion.
I like you--
a mathematical
casse-tete.
I find the slant of your
hypoteneuse
amusing.
Suspicions re:
those dotted lines
disturb me, yet
I still return
to find
within your lonely plane
the point that's mine.
HMS c.1982
*casse-tete = puzzle, a mind-bender
