the distance men need in their love
pushes you over and brakes
your back the brace of
stiffness where a cast is needed
to play the part while you hobble
passed your highway

the distance men need in their love
is why you’re in love with this
man realizes he’s savable in an
earthly way confineable
sit in the car with two buckles
belted but you’re still alone

the distance men need in their love
is my love your love pronoun love
make love can’t you meet me half way
love if you say love enough it sounds
like nothing love breathe love seize love
unlovable love in a how lovely package
