The intellectual act

The intellectual act

is the right spot

Challenge me,

defy me.

Ask me about

the simple things

in life,

I’ll give you

an answer that’s

bizarre,

I’m up

to the dare,

up to the game.

I’ll pretend it’s enough.

It won’t be enough.

We’ll play

the intellectual game.

I’ll exercise will power

and self control.

I’ll try not to kiss you

I’ll be above it all.

But it won’t be enough,

it won’t be enough.

I’ll want more.

You’ll build a wall,

a moral wall

between us.

I’ll try not to kiss you,

against the wall

you won’t let me kiss you.

I’ll be above it all.

It won’t be enough,

it’ll be just an act,

between us.
