Only Then Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

First of all,
I'm not trying to be lost up in your love.
I've come equipped with a flashlight,
If you noticed.
I've already been blinded by that kind of love before.
And I am not here to donate for charity purposes.
Or be driven crazed by good booty!

Those goo goo gah gah eye days are gone.
I may gah a little goo with you,
But I am strickly business...
When it comes to affairs of the heart.

You may be seeking a friend with fringe benefits.
Who knows?
But for me...
I want to see your medical history,
Attached with a footprint proving your birth!
Dated and when the event happened.
As well as some ancestral documentation.
Only then,
Can you have all the love from me you want!
