In the province of pleasure, haptic cues are in gear,
disclosing more than any decree on the social charts.
I trace my energy to meagreness. You are relentless
in carving your reach. Saints melt to touch; I’m me.
As the intake picks up, the fun quotient, a.k.a make
whoopie, perks up. The following morning, excess
issues a raft of regrets as it releases its report.
