This tight, small feeling
~ happiness tied ~
letting them
{words, someone else’s visions}
strip me in ways
where I decide I like this – the rhythm,
the directive,
his spectacle of words.
I decide, again, he has talent.
Much more than me
(contemplate: jealousy bursts,
simmers,
pretends to disappear)
A few lines catch me with
little tingling hooks
my anonymous emotion
like a crush for inanimate objects
-- a beautiful woman’s skin -- my bedroom
-- these fantastic poems I’m reading -- a snap from perspective
all summed from this delight-sided knot in my chest
-- like anxiety having an orgasm.

Sounds like you've been reading so much of everyone else's work, you're lost for words.

Cute.
