At night, together,/
we sleep deep. Yet as day dawns,/
arms are empty, still.

What's The Hurry? A Romantic Email Poem
What’s the hurry, you ask?
The hurry
is that
the flurry

leaving me here,
wondering
what could have been.

What's the Rush?: A Prozaic Email Response
What’s the the rush, you ask?
The rush is seeing that you’ve responded to my communication.

pation.
The rush is the sensation of potentially finding an intellectual and stimulating equal.
The rush is finding a woman who doesn’t back down.
The rush is finding a person who is begging to be convinced.

Leaning back in an office chair: An Emailed Sonnet
Leaning back in his office chair/
he stared,/
out the window, blankly,/
at the empty blue sky there./
Turning his face back/
to his blue screen, where the lack/
of one response/
caused his jaw to slack./
He looked at his lap./
“Crap.”/
Pursed his lips./
Sighed. Visualized where she sat./
Then he realized, if she was any good,/
She’d read and respond as soon as she could.
