Reckoning (Free verse) by <~>
With an abacus, I could
track the times
you and I have weighed in,
hand to hand, skull to skull,
mouth to mouth,
beaded with sweat.
If I had the brass, I'd quit you
and your pheromone juju
that undoes my knees every time
I see you.
Given the grit,
I'd gash you when you take
a stab at me.
But I have ifs
and you have me,
netted, complicit,
wooden and pushed about
like some counter,
adding up to us.
