2-minute romance

sensuality cannot be sold. it just happens, unexpectedly, beautifully.

2 minute romance.

madly dashing to prepare for a performance, which would never unfold.

buying bowls for household reassurances.

many items purchased, so begin helping to wrap in order to protect the ceramics. newspapers of the everyday variety.

fingers accidentally touch.

they ask, “you are japanese?”

i answer, “yes”.

they say, “japanese are amazing!”

i reply, “chinese are amazing!”

fingers remain intermingled.

two-minutes, perhaps less.

lovely,

we become shy. blush, pull apart.

too-minute romance.
