Inverse Functions Of Time And Space As They Apply To Coughing Up Phlegm Poem by Ted Sheridan

Giving every slimy aspect of your life
so much thought and so much time
you seem to ignore me as I am
awaiting your final decision
whether to acknowledge
my desires and my affections.
Within my heart
buried deep and secure
my love for you
lies protected
while my will
though still vulnerable
is never failing
I must
I cannot
I will not
stop loving you.
Alas,
Time passes me by
in long and drawn out contradictions
