it all started with 'hello'
i was a karma bum
and you were a disco king
we discussed tantric love
and hindu gods
you spoke to me in french

wintersolstice passed
you went away, i came back
we found each other again

i watched my antipodean tan fade
as you wooed me with
guerrilla lovesong phonecalls
and quan-ying statues
and i wondered how anyone
possessing all of their mental capacities
could love the entire
me
entirely
