A Big Affair Poem by anais vionet

A Big Affair

Rating: 4.0


"You don't indulge in much self-reflection, do you? " Peter asked me.
"Are you asking about that time in Reno I shot a man just to watch him die? " I answered.

A poem from a friend (by Peter) :

A big affair
I know more about particle physics than love
but you have a magic of your own,
and I want to be around it.
A big affair
A fight for your attention and commitment,
a revelation, a feast of impressions,
I could drown in it.

Peter hops up for a handful of peanuts, then retakes his place on the deep red couch next to me. "Sure, " I say in my best frenetic, surly and spoiled voice, "leave me alone here - desperate for kisses - and then try and creep back into my life."

Ok, yours is sort of a poem (light) , but his is sort of 'heavy', unless he was joking. Your humor, however, seemed light and delightful. bri ;)

Yes, true, Peter is always a bit more on the serious side - he can't help it - I think that's how people get in their 20s

3 1/2 [call it 4] stars. I first thought Peter was acting like a monkey and you were holding the bag, following hes poem. It IS one he composed? : )

Peter wrote the poem called "a big affair" I just added two bits of random conversation from before and after the poem..

Well, anais, WAS Peter asking about that time in Reno YOU shot a man just to watch him die? Did 'P' think you SHOULD have 'reflected, inwardly'; if so, before or after the shot? Or before AND after? bri : )
