Streetcars on Fire

It is remarkable how easily and insensibly we fall into a particular route, and make a beaten track for ourselves.. - Thoreau

divergent paths crossed

warm bodies pressed together

coy smiles brushed and flossed

Author's Note

“We should go forth on the shortest walk, perchance, in the spirit of undying adventure, never to return; prepared to send back our embalmed hearts only, as relics to our desolate kingdoms. If you are ready to leave father and mother, and brother and sister, and wife and child and friends, and never see them again; if you have paid your debts, and made your will, and settled all your affairs, and are a free man; then you are ready for a walk.” - Thoreau

Well, at least they practice good dental hygiene. ;) Maybe it will lead to safe sex. That warm bodies pressed thing is a good omen. I enjoyed the read.

Unexpected encounters of the sultry kind. Sometimes we crash into someone unexpectedly and it causes our minds and bodies to catch fire when we least thought it would happen. Chance meetings that burst with attraction

[Pete]

Hi Pete,
First words I have read of yours and I do like the thoughts that are now with me as i write your review.
I feel that poems that leave you thinking are the best poems.
