Love Poems

The Signalling Steps 

Production, storage, reception, termination…

I seem to be missing a piece.

I picture you and recall the sensation,

and then I remember: release! 

Sympathetic 

Pure fight-or-flight:

I spot you from across the room 

And piss myself from fright.

My friends joke that I’m a “nervous system”,

Because I have no game. 

You do wonders to my sweat glands,

And you don’t even know my name. 

Enzymes

I never knew

that COX enhancers existed

until I met you.
