This is not about being rescued.
So forget those scarves

you&rsquo;re running up the chimney.
Texas two-step back across the sitting room.

I don&rsquo;t have a chair to offer,
but we can share this velvet ottoman.

We can face each other
and move like splitting cells,

discuss our sexy mitosis.
Mitosis. Mitosis.

In time, everything about us will change.
Let&rsquo;s not die here like this.

You want some of the purest things.
I could have baked a fine cake

had I known;
I could have candied some ginger.

Give me your lampshade
and I will build a lamp for you

in case the power goes.
We can play clapping games

and spark
and spark.
