Predator Handshake
Such a shitty meme,
but a clear mental image.
Two hands desperately clasped,
in competition, but connected, raw.
So many I love, are, flimsy,
like puppets and confuse weakness for intimacy.
No, I do not want to reach my arm down your yielding self and puppet your words to fit mine, although sad and flattering your offer.
I want to meet you gaze, feel your resistance and carefully negotiate.
I am so tired of fleeing eyes, weak elbows, pathetic commitments.
Equal my pressure, meet my pace, and like dancers, we may spin each other to place we could not reach alone.
A shitty meme, a powerful dream.
