Feelings of desire/
stir old mem’ries of shame and/
foolishness in me.
You took an object/
immovable, and broke it/
in two. And it grew.
My heart rate rises/
when you appear, and whisper:/
“Let’s get it in gear!”
I’m leaving today/
for Amsterdam. Come you may;/
at least, if you can.

We can leave today/
for Amsterdam. We’ll go Dutch./
At least, that’s my plan.
Why do I ask friends/
for advice? What they give is/
never very nice.
