Snail Paced Ironies Of Love And Marriage Poem by RIC BASTASA

Snail Paced Ironies Of Love And Marriage



A man plays with love
like a kitten to a ball of thread

the thread rolls a length
that a kitten cannot locate

and then a man finds love
but there is nothing to bond with

just as the kitten cannot
relate a bone to that of the puppy

so does love and permanence
so does a lifetime and a spark

come to terms with
and life crawls on

upon a slime and a stalk
snailed, hard covered, slow

mindlessly.
