How Many Licks

"There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we'd all love one another."
~Frank Zappa

how many licks does it take
to get to the center
deep
questions this
p.m.
how many hugs to wrap you up
and lull you into
a false sense
of security
everything is groovy, baby
I love you
you love me
the world is functioning
accordingly
freedom is a pendulum
gaily swinging
over the abyss
hit and miss each kiss
keeps us safe
your honesty doesn't chafe me
you keep shocking me
and don't know why
no sighs
too small
if only love
was truly
all.
