There's Always A Twist

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see. - Thoreau

niggardly, we kissed

stingily, we missed

in a bold, covert tryst

evasive love in our midst

never quite getting the gist

with but a mere flick of the wrist

perhaps next time we should make a list

that way glorious onramps won't get bypassed, let alone missed

then surely contrite hearts won't get hurt or quixotic feelings dissed
