come again?

you may tease me
but you're not
a tease
you point out again
there in the parking lot
a fine
but real
distinction
you make even finer
every chance
you get
and turn on a dime
just like that
from listening to limp bizkit
on the jukebox
unironically
and cool
there in the bar
talking of movies and girly
things
then so suddenly
swinging
into that other mode
that's always there waiting
for me
amid the crush
of our too-many words
there's always
the rush
when we touch
for the first time
again
and take off and fly
which is why
our problem
i say in breaths
between kisses
is that we talk too much
and you laugh when i tell
you to be careful
how you unbutton
those buttons
that's a silk shirt
there girl
none of that matters
in your world
you come just as you
are
and no more
and i tell you the others
have been jerks
who didn't care
and
i can show you where
it's at
and what works
and i will
and i do
but you
insist it's my show
anything goes
and who knows
where all this will lead
but if i had a magic eight
ball
that really worked
i'd smash the fucker
and pray to the gods
of chance
to keep us guessing
for at least another lifetime
or two
