3-D

The nice thing about
doing it on paper is
you can really concentrate
on the matter at hand -
no having to worry about those
nasty perpendiculars.
I thought I'd worked out
all the right angles,
thought I
saw clearly...

And you
come slithering
your serpentine silouette
shamelessly
over my geometry.
Sometimes I wonder
how you can see the relationships
at all, staring
at your navel like that.

 

So why all the (con)fusion
as soon as we crawl
off the sheets?
How come I can´t see nothing
but empty space.
It's hard
to keep your head
on the horizontal when
all the hammer and anvil work
happens on the vertical.

I guess the trick is to make
the connections without
mut(u)alating
those right angles, eh?
Guess I´m
trying to say thanks
fo(u)r that extra dimension.

Now how can we ever
keep or perspective respectives
clear long enough
to get it down
on paper?
