SLIP

 I told her
     with firm conviction, secure,
     with confident tenderness,
that she was mine.

Had any woman ever said such a thing to me
I would have pulled her into my arms and kissed her
     with manifest sexual desire.  
I would have loved her even more,
for such words.
To be loved,
     asserted as an observation
     of adamant fact --
how comforting.

She
however
was offended.
