Love and Sales

You can try to sell
and convince and court.
It's an exhausting game
living with a target
that always tries to run away.

If they take it,
it's with reluctance
and the good will is an
item of negotiation.
Tit for tat they say.

But when she comes up to you
and takes your hand in spite
of your confoundment and she wants it
she wants it! That's a surprise.
The hand comes and the touch,
brand new, is like a warm sunrise.
