Unrelated Events

And then my heart was frozen
To the point of non-existent spring
But behind my eyes I bubbled and hissed with passion
that both sickened and quickened me
The noise was alarming to passersby, who made wide circles
around the pretty thing writhing on the concrete.
A few threw change
And it stacked up around me like a tiny little wall
making the separation between us brilliant and more profound.
I tried uselessly to synch the madness growing inside me
with the relatively ridiculous chain of unrelated events
Knowing that nothing this perverse could be that simply simple.
