The following poem came into my head about a week ago.	Let me assure the
net.singles crowd that this is not based on an actual incident, and that I'm
not sure I entirely understand the poem myself; I just offer it for your
interest and enjoyment:

		ROMANTIC INTERLUDE

	She took a step
	ahead, into the woods, and walked
	greenly in the shadow of the young trees.
	The heat of her hair faded to highlights.
	She paused and turned;
	her eyes showed me her unvoiced screams.
	I stumbled
	forward, took her shoulders,
	then crushed her petite fragility to my broad chest.
	Our kiss was rapturous torment,
	for I knew not whether I would quiet her screams
	or increase them beyond all bearing.
