My hand's right there-
right on it-
and I can feel it pulsing
and throbbing
like something about to explode
beneath my fingers,
which are trembling,
by the way,
because I've never felt anything so
erratic
and erotic
and maybe a little
passionate
and alive
but it stops as soon as it started
which frightens me
because they say when
your heart skips a beat like that,
that it's love,
and I wouldn't be so sure
except mine just did it,
too.
