by osmosis

just keep me at
arm's length and hopefully i
won't
light you on fire

i'm not even sure
the length of my arm
is long
enough,
i hope yours will do

if beauty
found
in a flower
could transform me
by osmosis
i'd pick it
and stick it in my hair but
something else
is
already there

(that line. drawn where? right, i LOST it. in my hair.
i forgot it was there)

i've now
tripped over
fell off
choked on
and lost

'the line'

perhaps crossing it is not the answer

(a field of daisies...and i can't touch it)
