We Are Fixed.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

the way we love each
other today has gone beyond
the walls of words

no fences of promises
nothing about sweet nothings

the air con is timely repaired
food is on the table
coffee is ready when you need it
and clothes are clean and ironed
for your suiting

no more flowers and chocolates
no more unnecessary exhilaration
the way we love is anchored on
the reality of our accepted limitations
no need to change now
we are fixed.
