She...longed
to do
'this! '
But - she didn't.
She stopped
herself in her tracks
&
reached to stroke
- the cat.
He...longed
to do
'that! |'
But - daren't.
He thought: 'Damn...
well...that's...that! '
reduced to stroking
- the cat.
Their hands
electric with yearning
touched
& one thing
(a little bit of 'this! ')
led to an...
(a little bit of 'that! ')
...other
Amazed they wandered
through the maze of
each other.
The cat
- had kittens.
