Let me

Taste
  your chortle
  when I teased you,
  "collecting atoms like PokémonCool them down, light them up
—why stop at one species?"—
  a gravity between us
  (scientific, really) ^{1 1} F = GPray tell me again—
how does one measure
with ultracold atoms? × m_you × m_me / r_{between us}²

Binge
  your songs
    "tell me 'bout your favorite rocks"
  and those geometries that sculpt lightCaustics. Colors. Prisms. Please.—
  you said we could
  craft them together
  (sir, let's be realistic)

Devour
  the world
        expansive
  sun pouring over Longfellow Bridge
  you:
    talking freedom
    talking greatness
  me:
    snorting at your flair
    (someone had to, I'm sorry)

Overeat
  my fingertips
    down your spine;
  I hadn't let myself
    imagine—
  I've never known
        (moderation)

Gorge
  your head tossed back
  when I confessed,
    catching myself
      sounding like you—
  dramatic:
    I want to throw myself
      into the Charles—
    "but the brain-eating algae—"
    whatever

How liberating:
  "my life in shamblesHow to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found (1985) by Doug Richmond"
  my life
