touch pad, sa marek (enteractc om)
               ------------------------------------------------------

               i played with your face
               the mac whirly whirled
               the software installed
               it was the seventh basic
               real player
               it took forever
               ample time

               i traced you
               r left cheek down to your chin
               dangled an earing by your right then left ear
               (you looked muy feliz)

               i touched you right on
               the nose

               delicately follo
               wed up the curve of your brow
               the whirly checkered roun
               ded then upped around the other

               feather-touched the touchpad --
               sweetspot of the sugarloaf

               went down the right side
               of your neck
               and rested
               in the artery nook
               right by the warm croo
               k and the whirly whirled and whirled and whirled
               then returned to arrow

               you know, chica linda linda linda
               it's been a dry and snowless winter

               like when --
               when will you rain?
