I don't like gum chewing
you said
Yeah, well I don't like
being overlooked
I replied
We pondered these
limitations, wondered
what they meant
I will make you feel safe
you said
Yes, and I will make
you feel strong
I replied
And so negotiations began
and preliminary terms
were struck
I added
a monitoring clause
that wouldn't pass review
and the unseasonable storm
wound down, sunshine through snow
flakes, light, heat, bed, bear
and I wondered why any woman
would ever consent to a man
who didn't love her hair

I figured, "Just so long as he didn't put gum in it," by the time I got to the end. Then I got back to the beginning in my re-read and was reminded the guy doesn't like gum-chewing. Stray thoughts, I suppose.
