Sweet time

Slow enough

Such

Anticipation

Is part

Of the excitement

Building

Like all desire

Blinds us

To the past

And future

While we’re waiting

Impatiently

For something

Immediate

Like hunger

On the hunt

Or lust

On the way home

To bed

With another

And in many

Other

Much smaller

Ways

It’s that immediate

Promise

Of satisfaction

Moving us

Most the time
