are still swollen from last night

when they battled yours with passion

Our arms entangled, holding tight

In the hallway, with my back against the wall

and my leg wrapped around your hips

my skirt hiked up

lips enveloped lips

This physical explosion happened suddenly,

completely unplanned

(well, maybe just a bit)

When I invite myself up to your bedroom

I think we both know where I sit

There's no relationship here or label

It's just you held up to me

we can't deny

the chemistry

Warnings come

of broken hearts

or being seen in a

bad light

But with body against body

I'm not thinking

Wrong or

Right

And thoughts of socialism flutter

as we share these shaken sheets

where we aren't fighting for each other

we are supplying each other's needs

the saying goes they won't buy the cow if they can get the milk for free

but we are drinking from each other

I from her, she from me

So in a world of capitalistic love

we disregard every law

and we get all the profit

without being bought at all.
