Logistics

 I’m noticing 

How many love songs

Talk about 

Logistics

I”ll climb the highest 

Mountain

I’ll walk 500 miles

I’ll swim the deepest

Ocean

I’ll travel to the ends

Of the Earth

Logistics, on paper

Does not sound

Romantic

Yet we can sure

Use it to profess

Depth of ardor

In real life

It’s not as sweet

Mountains are majestic

Stop lights and traffic are not

Seven seas are endless blue

Empty gas tanks hit different

500 miles is a hero’s journey

Is a commute just a chore?

Watching the clock on a weeknight 

Hoping all the sand does not run out.

Can I adjust

To driving 35 - 40 minutes

To see this guy

Or wait for him 

To see me

Will distance make

The heart grow fonder

Or will it just be a

Pain in the ass

Maybe this drive

Is worth it 

A chance to decompress

In transit

Work through the hassles

Of the day

Maybe his kisses

And the dinner I made

Warm hugs

And tender smiles

Maybe they

Are streetlights

Elevation markers

And navigational buoys

Perhaps he will be

My lighthouse

And I his

The infrastructure

Must be built

Before I reroute 

My heart

Right now

This is just a junction

An intersection

Schedule

To be determined
