"12/31/09 @ 11:58pm" - [day 2 of poem-a-day]

two minutes before the ball is to drop
tossed between coffee and a screwdriver
suddenly interrupted by the pressing
of his lips against mine

though he isn't here

convinced he's reliving our one kiss
at this moment
i receive it passionately

one day there may be a machine
to measure these things
and scholarly reports to follow

i am guided by my innermost self
i've discovered once lit
there's a fantastic answer key built in
