I'm sorry I want to

kiss you, Spock

I'm sorry it's so weak, fragile,

human

but more than that I think the universe knows

I think everyone knows

if one being touches another being

atom-shatteringly close

that matters

that means something

even when I'm looking at you from far away

I'm sorry, Spock,

I'm kissing you with my eyes

(stars, if that isn't the stupidest thing i've ever said)

it's holy communion to me

(forgive me the confusion of religion)

staring at you from across a quadrant

it's not fair that only atoms get to forge themselves into new life
