[Love & Grapple] a poem

The night is deepening
& mechanical life begins to lack attraction

A come-to-soon
to an unattractive place,
voices through all artificial larynx,
more tortured than a catapulting
fear of words,
irritation teeming with every shot
of dialogue;
& we just begun to argue,
love combating love
